I play tourist in San Diego. I stop by Cabrillo National Monument tide pools, head to the Maritime Museum and then on to the airport.
I get a little claustrophobic in Soviet Navy Submarine called “Project 641,” B-39. Project 641 submarines, classified as “Foxtrot” by NATO, are essentially larger and more powerful versions of German World War II era U-boats. Low-tech but lethal.
I also board the 555 USS Dolphin
The deepest diving submarine in the world, Dolphin is responsible for many "firsts", but is not primarily associated with any specific historic event or time frame during her nearly forty years of service. Rather, it is her unique, extreme deep-diving capability that sets her apart and has continually placed the vessel at the forefront of undersea naval research during her entire career.
In November 1968, she set a depth record for operating submarines that still stands.
