General Note
On 17 June 1972 Requin was sent to Tampa, Florida as a tourist attraction. She remained in this role until 1986, when she was closed down due to lack of funding and support. For four years she remained abandoned at the pier before being transferred as an exhibit for the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
