Complain to Naval Reactors... 
The good news is that the 'aft end' has been prepped for visitors just like the areas up front -- i.e., plexiglass covering instrumentation panels, etc. (I know, because I was able to get in to the engineering spaces recently  ). Thus, whenever Nautilus's 'Disneyworld' becomes declassified, it will be ready for the public to see. |
Bill, I was just there and the CPO said that nobody can see the engineering spaces, talked with a seamen on duty and he had been there 2 years and I asked him if he saw the reactor: he said: "No".
I did see a gangway to the stern, but the sailors said that it was for a retirement ceremony at 1500.....
Would have LOVED to see the engineering spaces, turbines...
Smithn23: Just because one can see the reactor, that does not mean they have the engineering expertise to duplicate it...also it is 50 years old.....
