Day_108_-_USS Clamagore, Contol_Room

You can't actually look through the periscope on this submarine. Instead they have a display showing what you would see if you looked through the periscope. Odd.

This was on the hanger deck museum portion of the USS Yorktown. I didn't read the sign carefully enough, I believe it is only a replica (?) of John Glenn's spacecraft, the original is in Washington D.C. He was the first person to Orbit the earth from Space.
