If you go to Dresden you can see the oldest submarine in existence, and as you might guess of early submarines it is hilariously unsafe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandtaucherquote:The model was demonstrated in Kiel harbour in front of naval dignitaries. Its satisfactory performance led to the construction of a full-scale model, which was funded by contributions from army personnel and local civilians. Due to the inadequate funding, the scale of the boat had to be downgraded and the design altered and simplified; resulting in a reduced diving depth from 30 m to 9.5 m. This redesign included eliminating the use of enclosed ballast tanks to contain the water being taken into and expelled from the submarine. Instead, the water was allowed to pool inside the bottom of the hull, below the main floor, and was able to move relatively unobstructed within this area when the ship changed orientation. The resulting instability was probably a significant contributing factor to the loss of the vessel. Ain't she a beauty!

If you find yourself in Mobile, AL (God forbid) you should check out the USS Alabama. It's a WW2 battleship and it's really interesting to go through. They also have a WW2 era submarine which is claustrophobic as hell, and a few planes. There was nothing else worth doing on a Sunday in that armpit, I'm glad it was there.

Smithsonian had Enterprise before the flyable shuttles were retired, they traded it in for a real one. I doubt there's any obstacle other than money preventing it from being displayed better.

mllaneza posted:San Francisco proper has the USS Pampanito, a Balao-class diesel boat open for tours. Across the Bay in Alameda is the Hornet. Second CV Hornet of the war, she has battle stars from the Pacific campaign and was a recovery ship for Apollo missions. Also tourable; a buddy and I cut a docent out of the herd and got a 2 hour private tour, The CIC is really cool. The recovered Russian sonobouys are cool. The ship's brig is seriously tiny. Be prepared to do a lot of climbing. There's also a rad as heck old timey arcade right beside it on the same pier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_M%C3%A9canique This is the only photo I took from there, and I think it was just some kind of cowboy shootey game where you a woman shows her bloomers above the knee or something

If you find yourself in Wisconsin, the Maritime Museum in Manitowoc has the USS Cobia, a WW2 sub that earned 4 Battle Stars over 6 patrols. A lot of it still works, including its radar suite.
