USS Nautilus is on Display at Groton-New London. Many other submarines are docked to the north.
Can you locate The US Coast Guard Academy ?

Just noticed the a floating drydock for subs at northern end of the US Navy Submarine Base. It seems active in this photo.

Check out Connecticut College for Women, now just Connecticut College, just across the river. Not a girl in sight!

Three Carriers tied up at Hampton Roads. They look tired, but usable. Lots of river activity.

Three more at Bremerton. Could these be the same three on a different date?

The one on the middle has a bit of history behind it.
More info.

I sense wishful thinking! How can you tell what boat that is in the middle? No numbers visible and your info link tells about a great ship, and how it was sold for scrap years ago! Try again!

Over twenty subs at Bremerton plus two in the dry dock. This could be half the pacific submarine fleet.

Number's on the bow. From the angle, it looked like 17, but after looking a little closer, I see that it is actually 41 (was reading it upside down as well.) See attached .eta for a better view.
That gives it considerable more history than the other. This is none other than the USS Midway- veteran of three wars (WW2, Vietnam and Desert Storm) and probably the holder of the record for the most peacetime onboard fires and explosions. MORE INFO

Midway was decommissioned for the last time at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, California on April 11, 1992. She was stricken from the Navy List on March 17, 1997 and is now stored at the Navy Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, Washington.

Esterett, thanks for the info on Midway. Looks like she'll be at Bremerton for a while. Too bad the other boats show no numbers. Will try to scope them out. Maybe Stiuskr can help!
