I was truly able to experience what the sailors must have felt like during their tours of duty on both the aircraft carrier and the submarine. More

This outdoor memorial site to the men and woman who were on active duty, or supported active duty folks, during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, both US and British, is a somber place to visit. The centerpiece is a mockup of a Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine, built around the sail and rudder of the former USS LEWIS&CLARK (SSBN-644).... More

Most people pass by this memorial but never stop. Take the time to walk around the memorial on your way to the yorktown. It has some great history to share. More

Too small, not worth the time. You can not go aboard. I wish we had gone somewhere else. More

Self-guided tour of the submarine. Tight spaces, steep stairs but very interesting. Air conditioned inside and well-lighted. Interesting to see the sleeping quarters for both the officers and enlisted men. Tour only covers one level of the submarine (the main level) and runs the entire length of the sub. More

While this attraction may not have the notoriety of Patriots Point (which is directly across the street), there is a quiet, reflective atmosphere to this site. It is worth a trip across the bridge from Charleston to stop by. Being situated the Patriots Point Links, the new Water Front Park, The College of Charleston Sports Complex and the Patriots Point...
