Wow, yesterday we went to see the first nuclear sub that went under the North Pole! Now a museum in Connecticut, it was active from 1954 to 1979. My Son & I climbed around in it for half an hour, it was so Ice Station Zebra! My cheap camera did not do this awesome historical ship justice...

Then we had lunch at Mystic Pizza. MMMMmmmm, so good. Julia Roberts was nowhere in sight, but lots of pictures of her were... LOL.

    I figured Subs have an intrinsic interest for Bond fans... :D

    What's the matter, @MayDayDiVicenzo, you never seen a major take a shower before? :-w

    Thanks a million for sharing this with us, @chrisisall! I love those pictures. Want to visit a sub myself one day. Didn't know you knew Ice Station Zebra. I quite like that film! :-)

    Funny, I thought this thread was about BRIAN BLESSED ! Who, BTW, will be the subject of an episode of "Who Do You Think You Are ?" this season.

    Between that, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea & Bond I kind of grew up with a thing for subs...
