Also visited the USS Cod, a WWII submarine that is intact and original, including entering through the sub using the original ladder, not for those with mobility challenges. Not sure what happened to my pictures, perhaps my camera battery was expended in the R&R Hall of Fame. I will keep looking for them. This submarine is being maintained by an independent volunteer group without government funding. It is a remarkable experience to see how these men lived and worked on these boats.
The USS South Dakota, a battle cruiser, was the most decorated warship of WWII. It participated in every major US Naval battle during the war earning 13 battle stars. When it was decommissioned in 1962, the community spearheaded an effort to create a permanent memorial to the ship and the men who were stationed aboard this battle veteran. Shells as tall as I am
