We saw a Virginia class nuclear submarine pass us this morning. So cool. We waved to the submariners standing on the deck. Nobody waved back, hah!
Decided we better follow up that experience with a visit to the Albacore Submarine Museum.
The Albacore was mainly an experimental sub, had engines made of aluminum and ran on diesel. First sub to use counter rotating propellers. First modern sub to have a tear shaped hull.
The kids loved it for the mere fact that you could touch absolutely anything and everything.
Uber'd back to the marina, early dinner and bedtime. Got many hours of lost sleep to catch up on!

Not a lot of room. The men used to hot bunk here.

Almost tall enough to see out!

| So many wires and cables ! Makes our boat look so unbelievably simple. |
