I was already planning to visit the San Diego Maritime Museum, but I basically sprinted there when I realized what their biggest ship was named.

Here I thought you'd managed to do a scuba tour of the Felicity Ace.

I live 1.2 miles from Berkeley Pointe. I feel that raises our property's value.

(Narrators' voice:) It does not. In fact, it lowers it.

The last diesel boat we made I believe?  I knew it was smaller (for reasons) but wow, that looks tiny.

Yeah, I toured the submarine too. Super cool bit of history; supposedly the deepest diving submarine we ever built, and zero implosions to date!

In reply to Tom Suddard :

Deepest advertised depth. Newer boats (yes there is a difference between boats and ships, except subs for some reason, are exempt from that, and called boats) have... Wait. I ain't allowed to say that!

The Dolphin is a great sub; been to a few museum boats (and ships cheeky) but not that one. 
Cool stuff.
