We were in Galveston for a reunion of my submarine crew. Of course we had to stop by the Seawolf Park naval museum. It is interesting. They have the sail (conning tower) of the USS Tautog (SSN 639), a 637 class fast attack submarine. By the way, the sail of the submarine that I used to be on, the USS Hawkbill (SSN 666), is out in the Idaho desert in Arco Idaho. So that is the thing the Navy did. Anyway, they also have the USS Cavalla (SS 244), which in this case is an old world war II era diesel submarine that can be toured. It is fairly interesting. There was, by the way, a second USS Cavalla, with the same name, which was another nuclear-powered sturgeon class submarine (SSN684). The place is not, overall, super well maintained. Apparently the place was hit by a hurricane over 10 years ago. No tours as far as I could tell. Of course the USS Seawolf itself, for which the park was named, was almost certainly sunk by friendly fire in the Pacific Ocean in 1944. You might also have expected that the place might give an admission discount, at least, to a bunch of old submarine sailors coming to visit, but no such luck. I'm going to give it four stars, instead of three, because it is still worth visiting and I wouldn't want to discourage anyone. There was also a Navy surface ship, The USS Stewart, which was apparently a destroyer escort. Some of the people in some of my photos are old submarine sailors, by the way.
