As much as I love it, Groton is an armpit. Other than the museum and the Nautilus, there just isn't much to see. The base is beautiful away from the piers, but I don't even know if you can drive on the base anymore, after 9/11.
OK, maybe the Coast Guard base and the Eagle.
You can see if Electric Boat does tours. You might catch a glimpse of a Virginia class under construction.
Mystic seaport is MUCH more picturesque.
Who knows, maybe Groton has changed in the 20+ years since I was last there.
