USS Nautilus

While we were visiting our friends in Connecticut, we visited a U.S. Navy Base and went inside the USS Nautilus! It was the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine. It was also the first vessel to travel under the North Pole. There was a picture in the museum of the crew meeting Santa Claus at the North Pole! :P

Very cramped quarters, as you might imagine! These were actually roomy compared to some of the other rooms on board.

Dining hall. Those clay figures creeped me out…

Watch your head going through these things!

My dad is holding a phone-like thing that we listened to for our self-guided tour.

Mess hall. They had an ice cream machine!

I imagine that a room shared by six men didn’t smell very good…

Oh look! The cook! (that rhymed :)
