Yes, I was very impressed with the interior of the Submarine. They have many "living history" displays and many of the gauges still sparkle! It still has its WWII appearance.
However, the exterior of the sub is in sad shape. Rust is eating away at the Hull.. In fact the stern is almost completely gone. On top of that the park was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina two years ago and many of their historic planes were demolished. They have been rebuilding, but I imagine that funding is an issue.
The Big draw is the USS Alabama Battleship next to the Sub. I'm guessing lots of money goes to keep her in tip top shape.
