I was looking at the information on the Bowfin, and it says parts of the Bowfin are barred from visitors.  I'm thinking what could be barred other than maybe where the docents make their quarters.

After a while and seeing the Arizona memorial every day it unfortunately lost its perspective to us.  I was around it during the Vietnam Era.  I was impressed to see the New Jersey when it pulled in on its way to Nam, and also impressed the day I saw the Newport News pull in also on its way to Vietnam.  The Newport News was absolutely beautiful and o very pristine white.  The New Jersey was just a BB and that was enough for me.  The Missouri had not been transferred to Pearl yet, but the Newport News was elegant.

Growing up I never wanted to be on subs.  I would go to the penny arcades at the Pike in Long Beach and put all my money in the ship anti aircraft machines pretending to be on at least a cruiser shoot aircraft.  Luckily I chose submarines.  Sorry to say me and my two buddies only asked for subs because of sub pay - we didn't think we could like stinking subs, let alone a smoke boat.
