Submarine "Albacore" Tour
Here's Diving Officer Chip and Helmsman Karen at the controls of the USS Albacore. "Designed, built and maintained by the skilled engineers and craftsmen of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Albacore served as a sea-going test platform from 1953 to 1972."
I highly recommend the tour of this vessel, located now in its own park in Portsmouth, NH.
The website has tons of information: www.ussalbacore.org/
We visited on a foggy cold day (Jan 13, 2013) and it was quite comfy walking around in the sub. And I only bumped my head once! It's very impressive to take in all the controls, piping, electric cables, space for the crew and machinery.
