This was from the Captains Chair on the main Bridge
The bridge is open to tour at your own pace. You can sit in the Captains Chair, turn the wheel, etc.
This is where the Captain would normally sit when on the bridge (or officer of the day)
This is the view of the bridge from the dock. The bow is to the right.
The ship isn't actually floating, but sits in the mud in some shallow water, so the effect is good.
I liked this view of the bow, the bridge and some wetlands.
The State of South Carolina maintains this retired naval aircraft carrier as part of it's Patriots Landing park. Several sections of the ship are open for self paced touring.
The Executive Officer was the second in command on a ship, a very high ranking officer for a ship. Yet on a submarine, even the XO has crampted quarters.
These levers controled the submarines batteries and motors.
If you want to tour this submarine, you must climb through several of these hatches, like others we've toured.
