If anyone finds themselves in Fall River, Mass with a few hours to kill, I cannot recommend enough a visit to Battleship Cove, where you can tour a number of older Navy ships. http://www.battleshipcove.org/
Also, any chance you get to see a submarine should be taken. The Nautilus Museum in Groton, Connecticut is awesome, and a trip through the USS Nautilus (SSN571) is alone worth the trip. http://www.ussnautilus.org/ The USS Blueback (SS581) is pretty cool, too. It can be found at the Oregon Science Museum in Portland. http://www.omsi.edu/visit/submarine/ The Intrepid in NYC is worth seeing as well. http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/intrepidmuseum/index.php And in 2 weeks, I am finally going to get to see the Higgins Boat Museum in New Orleans.
