I guess this is limited to nuclear subs, but the air processing equipment just wow's me. The fact that they can reprocess and make their own air, I know it is science, just seems magical to me.
Places to visit subs:
In Pearl Harbor
In Baltimor Inner Harbor (Sub that sank the last Japanese ship before VJ Day.)
In San Diego California, but you have to check the web site for the Point Loma sub base to see if a ship visit is available.
Kings Bay Georgia
Norfolk, Va
Seattle, Washington
Groton CT. That is where USS Nautilis is still tied to a peer for public viewing as a museum. I took my kids, my dad, lots of friends. Worth the day trip if you live in the Tri State area, Mass, New York, etc.
New York City, near the Carrier that has the SR-71 on it, I forget the name of the site. I used to fly over that now and again. (Used to fly past the World Trade Center also, about half way up. I always wondered if folks there ever looked out the window to look at the helicopters that flew by, though I suppose that now such things are commonplace enough not to attract attention.)
It would take a Google search to sort this out, but I think that a WW II German sub is in Chicago somewhere.
