Whats up my people? Thats me A.Maldo and one of cousins visiting the Nautilus in Groton Connecticut. My other cousin I went with is taking the picture. What an awesome museum.

     I want to thank my 2 cousins for inviting and riding up to Groton with me. I had a blast. I love to ride and being able to ride with your family is always a great experiance. We were like the 3 amigos on cruisers.

     I also want to thank God for waking us up today and allowing us to see the Nautilus. Thank you lord for the safe traveling mercies. We all made it to the museum and back home with out a scratch and thats always a good thing, so thank you God for all you have done for me and my family.

     I rented this motorcycle for the trip to Groton. It was a 2015 Harley Davidson Dyna Switchback. What a nice bike. I really enjoyed it. In fact I cant stop thinking about riding a Switchback. Crusiers are definitely a good way to ride. Thank you Jesus for the experiance.

     The USS Nautilus. Its the worlds first nuclear powered submarine and was launched January 21, 1954. This submarine broke many records and was the first ship to cross the North Pole August 3, 1958 with 116 men aboard. Now its a museum for the world to see and by the grace of God Sons of Jesus Christ had and opportunity to visit the USS Nautilus.

     Inside the USS Nautilus. My cousin walking through a hatch. I thought you were too tall cuz but you made it. Imagine having to run through the many hatches in a submarine during an emergancy without getting injured. Watch your head..

     Heres my other cousin the Army Vet making his way through a submarine hatch. Just like riding a Yamaha. Cool cuz your a natural.

     You thought I could'nt make it, Ha… And who said big guys could'nt fit through a hatch in a submarine. Well theres your proof. Thank God I didnt get stuck.

     This person is not a family member. In fact its just a mannequin set up in the torpedo room. Man the torpedo's. What a dangerous job. God bless those that are assigned torpedo duty.

     This is the Captains sleeping quaters but the captain is no where to be found. He must have abandoned ship and left his clothes behind. Your guess is as good as mine.

I looked on the deck of the Nautilus and guess what? No Captain. Maybe he's out to lunch. Oh well. It was nice touring the inside of the Nautilus. If you have never been inside a submarine then I suggest you visit the Nautilus in Groton Connecticut. Its worth the trip.

     My cousin and I found those propellas. Maybe they  can pay us to install them.

This is a Japanese Type A submarine that is outside the museum. Its supposed to be a 2 man sub. Im not sure how they moved around. I guess they crawled.

     This is the American version of the Midget Submarine SS X-1 which is also outside of the museum. Not sure how sailors moved around but its amazing how were able to build ships like this. 

     This is the Sail of the NR-1 outside of the museum.

     My cousin used to be a weapons expert when he served  in the military. Hes sitting on a 5"/25 late World War 2 Submarine Deck Gun. This was the last Deck Gun used by American Submarines. Its made of corrosion resistant steel and is able to withstand salt water.

     One of these missles could be shot from a submarine. Thank God this one is inactive. This is also outside of the museum on display for the world to see.

     The Forty One for Freedom monument. This monument has the name of all 41 submarines that were nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines. They were designed to deter threats from a nuclear attack. Thank God for the Forty One for Freedom defense.

     This is the Main Entrance to the Submarine Force Library and Museum. The weapon you see hear is the UGM-84 Harpoon long range anti-ship missile. It was was able to be fired from surface ships and submarines.

     Thats the family and I. It was a beautiful day to ride. It was a little chilly in the morning but it heated up rather quickly. We must have rode for about 6 hours.. 3 going and 3 coming back.

     Thats my 2 cousins. Father and son with their motorcycles. Father has a 2009 Yamaha V-Star 950. His son has a 2014 Suzuki Boulevard M50. Got to get that gas for the trip going back to the city and lets not forget the handicap plates for easy access parking. Got to get me some of those.
