Submarine Force Library and Museum, Groton, Connecticut, USA - Unravel Travel TV
The Submarine Force Museum, located on the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut, USA maintains the world's finest collection of submarine artifacts. It is the only submarine museum operated by the United States Navy, and as such is the primary repository for artifacts, documents and photographs relating to U.S. Submarine Force history.
The museum traces the development of the Silent Service from David Bushnell's Turtle, used in the Revolutionary War, to the Ohio and Virginia class submarines. Originally established as The Submarine Library by Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in 1955, the Submarine Force Library and Museum soon gained respect for its archival and research value. In April 1964, the entire collection was donated to the Navy and relocated to the Naval Submarine Base, New London, Groton, Connecticut. The name Submarine Force Library and Museum was officially adopted in 1969.
The museum's collections include more than 33,000 artifacts, 20,000 significant documents and 30,000 photographs. With so many holdings, the displays change frequently and a return visit will be a new experience. The 6,000 volume reference and research library is a world-renowned collection relative to the history of U.S. submarines and is open to anyone looking for information on submarines or submarine history.

CT: Groton, Submarine Force Library and Museum,USS Nautilus
Groton is regarded as the world's submarine capital. The United States Navy Submarine Force Library and Museum is located in Groton.
The museum includes the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus. A tour of the submarine gives first hand knowledge of how life in the submarine was like.
The museum is a gem and it' free.
U.S. Navy Submarine Force Museum
We drove to the U.S. Navy Submarine Force Museum, which is in Groton, Connecticut. It's a historic and unique place to see, and I highly recommend visiting this museum. Going in the museum and taking the tour of the Nautilus submarine, is free. Dad and I also took an inside tour of the historic submarine, the Nautilus. This is also the third time that I've been inside a submarine. I went inside the Nautilus submarine in 2005, and now, for a second time in 2018. The first time, in Roatan, I got to go down over a thousand feet into the pitch black darkness of the ocean in a yellow mini-sub.
Inside a Nuclear Submarine USS Nautilus at Submarine Force Museum (4K)
We visited the Submarine Force Library & Museum and got to go inside a real Nuclear Submarine in the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) at Groton, Connecticut. It is retired, of course, but it was fascinating to see the various stations of the sub, including the cramped living quarters and showers (and we thought cruise ships showers were small, lol).
The museum itself offered many fascinating exhibits, models, and scraps of former submarines. Some of the more interesting ones we saw included the McCann Submarine Rescue Chamber
, Bushnell Turtle (first submarine in combat), a 1/6th scale model of the USS Gato (SS 212), USS X-1 (a midget submarine), and the remnants of the NR-1 Deep Submergence vessel.
We got lucky- as our tour was ending a live and real nuclear submarine was returning to the naval base here after completing a mission, and we got some footage of her sailing in with the help of a tugboat.
Admissions is free, and parking is complimentary as well. So if you're in the Connecticut area we definitely recommend this as a family friendly, historic and fun museum to check out.
This was from our visit to New England during the Summer of 2019.

How the Navy Learned to Fly in World War I
Drawing on his book, The Millionaires' Unit, and the award winning documentary film the book inspired, Marc Wortman, PhD, shares the forgotten story of a privileged group of college students, mainly from Yale, whose dreams of starting a school flight club resulted in them becoming war heroes. The young aviators formed the founding squadron of the Navy Air Reserve and became the nucleus of the Navy's air service during World War I. They worked closely with Submarine Base New London in Groton, CT, to develop early sub-spotting techniques. The survivors went on to serve as leaders in the rise of U.S. air power and victory in World War II.
