As I'm only an hour or so away, I vote for Connecticut.
Also to sweeten the east coast pie a bit, don't forget Battleship Cove in Fall River.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_Cove
It bills itself as the worlds largest Naval ship museum.
Besides being just a stones through away from my back yard deck and it's
barbecue grill. in just one stop we could tour:
The USS Lionfish, a Balao Class
SUBMARINE!.
The USS Massachusetts, a South Dakota class
Battleship
The USS Joseph P. Kennedy a Gearing class
Destroyer
The Hiddensee, an East German Navy (The EGs had a Navy?
)
Corvette
And The National PT BoatMuseum (including two WW2 era
PT Boats)
