submarine built from USS HOLLAND (SS-1), purchased in 1900, to the present Los Angeles, Ohio, and Seawolf class submarines. Overhead is a replica of Jules Verne's Nautilus as depicted in the 1954 Walt Disney movie "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." In the Main Hall off to the right is the Submarine Model Wall with models of every major type of U.S. Inside the museum's foyer, one sees the Jules Verne Mural which was taken from an illustration in the first edition of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" published in Paris in 1870. Carried in a special watertight tank piggybacked to a submarine, the SDV gives the SEAL team a greater range of stealth, mobility, and endurance. 3) Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) - have operated with special operations teams since the days of WWII with Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT), commonly known as "SEALS" (Sea-Air-Land) are used in a variety of clandestine operations.
2) The SS X-1 - is a non-commissioned experimental submarine designed to both defend and penetrate shallow waters and enemy harbors where large conventional submarines could not go. Type A submarines were used during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and throughout the war, but were generally unsuccessful. On the front walk, there are midget submarines: 1) The Japanese "Type A" - were used during World War II, the Japanese "Type A" two-man mini-sub was carried by a mother ship, usually another submarine to its area of operation. On 11 November 1981, USS Ohio was commissioned. In the summer of 1981, sea trials were held to test the equipment and systems, and the submarine was delivered to the U.S.
Her keel was laid down on April 10, 1976. The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on July 1, 1974. The larger frame represents the USS Ohio (SSGN-726/ SSGN-726) which was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarines. Navy's first commissioned submarine, named for her Irish-American inventor, John Philip Holland. The smaller frame represents the USS Holland (SS-1) which was the U.S. In front of the museum’s entrance are two circular frames that illustrate the circumferences of two submarines that represent examples of the evolution of the submarine. During my visit, I spent about 3 hours here. The free museum is very well organized and well maintained. Since the history of Groton is tied to shipbuilding, and the building of submarines is tied to Groton because of the Electric Boat Divison of General Dynamics, there would be no more logical location for this submarine museum.
