thats another cold war classic that intriged me. and would you believe its the USS Triton (SSRN-586)  thats one OLD sub!
the big hull on the other side of the pier is the CGN 38 Virginia or better said whats left of it. |
Yep that is almost certainly the Triton, look at how big she is compared to the other SSN's at the pier
. It seems like all of the other "Classic" SSN's have been recycled (except for the Nautilus of course) maybe they're saving Triton for a museum? She is historically significant, being the only US Sub with two reactors in addition to the trip she made around the world submerged.
