Your going to get a lot of invitations to tour boats in Germany that's for sure, but they have a U-boat in Chicago too (I think). They have a WWII fleet boat in San Francisco and a half dozen more all over the country, but why don't you give a new submarine a try?

Your in Oregon, right? Contact the submarine base in Bangor, Washington for a tour of a boomer. It would have to be on there schedule unless you are a VIP, but they do have open house tours.

Subscribe to the San Diego Union newspaper (online) and read the schedule of open house boats on the week-ends, especially Navy week.

I would much rather see a modern submarine than an old cold steel grey boat that no one loves ... Yes submarines have soul, it's called the crews that love them ...

In fact I haven't seen one in 36 years come next month ... lol

That was the USS Sam Houston SSBN 609 ... I always wanted to show my son and grandson how I use to live ... Someday ...

Anyway good luck on your sub hunt ...
