Just got back from a new england vacation with the wife. Talked her into going to Groton for a day to visit the museum and the USS Nautilus.
Gotta say I was extremely disapointed, I would have complained if it was not free. There is nothing there which cannot be read in an already published book. Nothing new. I would have figured after 15+years since the cold war, that some new info would be on display. I was frankly shocked at the Nautilus. The ships been decommisioned for 25years and still cannot get a look at the reactor or the engineering spaces. I mentioned this to one of the CPOs on duty and they said: classified!! ![]() ![]() I have been in a number of diesel-electric boats; since I live in Chicago, I have visited the U505 often. You can touch the instruments, and get an overall great experience. The nautilus exibit is lousy. Everything is behind glass with cheezy dummies for crewmembers. Overall a real waste of time Thoughts?? |
