There are quite a few in New England. Unfortunately, memory fades after leaving there 20 years ago, but let me start: The Nautilus in Groton, Connecticut. There's a post-WW II sub that was conventionally powered but had the torpedo shape characteristic of today's nuclear subs. As I recollect it's not in the sub base in Groton but a park in the city. There's a WW II sub in Portsmouth, NH. I believe, but I'm not sure that there might be one at NYC's Seaport Museum. Ditto for Norfolk, VA.

Let's see, two in Chicago, Silversides and U-505; Bowfin in Pearl Harbor; Pampinito in San Francisco; Cobia in Manitowoc Wisconsin; Russian Scorpion sub in Long Beach; view the Hunley in Charleston. O.K. I give up, what other subs did you find?
glI don't think you were following NavList messages when I started visiting museum submarines. There are quite a few scattered about. I've been aboard 21 submarines in the US in the past four years and two in the UK just three weeks ago.-FER
