I never knew it was there when I was in sub school and ET school for over a year. Sad I missed it. I did visit a boat in Mobile, Alabama though. I cant remember the name or hull number to save the life of me. I dragged my brand new wife of all of 2 weeks through it on the way back from Mississippi, where she was from, heading back to base at Kings Bay. She is a lucky person. She has taken a tour on a BB, SS, and a SSBN. Ah, she didnt really like it that much, but hell, its hard to get tours on a boomer, they are kinda touchy bout that.

On a seperate note, she has the distinction of having a 50 cal locked and loaded, along with a lot of M16's, pointed at her by a platoon of Marines. She was trying to get down to the lower base(water front) to pick me up after having duty the night before. We were in the process of a missle move, and it ran a bit late.
