[PSUBS-MAILIST] Navy Museum, was: Composite pressure hull?

[SJSVOB@aol.com]

I tried to visit the Navy Museum with my family a few months ago when they were in town.  Unfortunately we couldn't get in.  A guard at the gate told us we had to go into another gate.  We walked around the perimeter to the other gate which was locked up.  The whole place looked deserted.  My family had less patience than I did and we bailed.
