AVG, I assume you mean lobsta and you'll probably want some chowda with that. For that you should go north for 2 hours from Groton to Kittery ME and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. They have several sub museums however the main one on the base, which honors Squalus and Thresher, has been closed to the public since 9-11. You need a US military ID (active, reserve or retired) to enter.
