Below: The two RV Gypsies visited Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame at 401 S 3rd Street, Muskogee OK, however, they were disappointed to learn that it was closed at the time they were there. As often is the case, they do not plan too much ahead of time, so sometimes their timing is just off.

The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame honors Oklahoma musicians for their lifetime achievements in music. The induction ceremony and concert are held each year in Muskogee. Since its establishment in 1997, the Hall of Fame has inducted more than 100 individuals or groups, held numerous concerts, and renovated in part the facility that will educate Oklahomans for generations about those innovators and industry icons from Oklahoma.

Below: Then the two RV Gypsies decided to visit the USS Batfish (SS/AGSS-310). Originally to be named Acoupa, hull SS-310 was renamed Batfish on 24 September 1942 prior to its keel laying on 27 December 1942. The Batfish was constructed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Kittery, Maine and launched 5 May 1943 sponsored by Mrs. Nellie W. Fortier; and commissioned 21 August 1943.

USS Batfish, a Balao-class submarine, known primarily for the remarkable feat of sinking three Imperial Japanese Navy submarines in a 76-hour period, in February 1945. USS Batfish is the first vessel of the United States Navy to be named for the batfish, a fish found off the coast of Peru, at depths ranging from 3 to 76 meters.
