The Albacore wasn’t a nuclear submarine, but without it, the US nuclear sub fleet never would have been possible. For more than 20 years, from 1952 to 1972, this top secret research sub was the cutting-edge of naval development. Now, it’s on permanent display near where it was first constructed, where kids can descend into the depths of its hull and play Captain Nemo while they learn about the sub’s storied history.
