Submarine Force Museum

Fodor's Review:

The world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the Historic Ship Nautilus, was launched and commissioned in Groton in 1954 and spent her 25-year active career as a show horse of U.S. technological know-how. She is permanently berthed at the Submarine Force Museum, where you're welcome to climb aboard and explore. The museum, outside the entrance to the submarine base, is a repository of artifacts, documents, and photographs detailing the history of the U.S. Submarine Force component of the U.S. Navy, and has educational and interactive exhibits.
