Fun Fact

North Little Rock has a WWII-era submarine permanently docked on the Arkansas River — the USS Razorback (named after the University of Arkansas mascot) is open as the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum. Strangely for a landlocked Arkansas city, you can tour an actual combat submarine that served in WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Also called 'Dogtown' locally due to a 19th-century dog-pound facility.
