Randy, thanks for sharing a bit of your life activity.

Where is that boat yard? Connecticut?

The US Navy Submarine Force Museum and Library, at Submarine Base, Groton Connecticut. That portion of the base is open to the public. Other portions of the base are not, especially to you. No offense.

Yes, I heard about some submarine base in that part of New England. Just could not get myself there during that mission.

Then there is Electric Boat's facility- the shipyard where they build them.

Hmm.. The link even doesn't allw me to get to the site. Probably rumors spread really fast.

When I was in that part of the country I visited Mystic seaport. Enjoyed it very much. Nice place to spend a weekend, lots of historical stuff and very good organized.

I went there one time in the 80's to pick up a load. One thing I remember is that they would not let me take my binder pipe in. They said it was because so much pipe and tubing was used in the submarines they would not take any chance of any piece of pipe getting on the base and being used accidently. Sounded kind of far fetched to me, but that's what they said.

I picked up two 50 foot long tubes there going to some place off of I-64 between Williamsburg and Newport News, Va.  I think they were for periscopes, but i'm pretty sure they were empty. I was supposed to go all the way back up to Maybrook, N.Y. to pick up some permits when I left Groton, but I couldn't see doing all that, so I just opened the stretch trailer I had one hole and rode on, hoping no one would notice. No one did.

Supposed to have a permit for a 50' load then...times sure have changed, eh?
