Speaking of subs, if anyone is ever in northern CT/southern RI/MA, hope to Groton/New London, to the Sub Base, and just before the main gate (which you can only enter with valid current Military ID), they have the Nautilus Sub Museum, which also includes other sub-related historical artifacts. if you are lucky (mid-afternoon), you can also see the "training" subs coming back from their (near) daily short runs. A must for sub-fans , or any naval/history fans really.. and yes, I promise to take DIGITAL pics next time Im there!

PS There is nothing "historical" within the base itself, since you cannot access the lower base region where the sub pens are located. The main base courtyard has a couple old polaris missiles as 'decorations" and a handful of torpedos and such. But not worth the hassle of going thru security... unless you are also planning a Nex run!
