    What type of sub is this?



    Is that a Sturgeon?

    They didn't do a good job covering the screw though

    Here are some more pics of Naval base at Bangor

    The U.S. Naval Submarine Base (SUBASE), Bangor is located on the east shore of Hood Canal. The primary berthing facilities at SUBASE Bangor consist of four separate pier complexes:



    i thought this one was pretty neat

    Hi Novagator, the sub in

    Hi Novagator, the sub in the pictures looks more like an Ohio class. Another thing that leads me to think that it is an Ohio class is the site talks about Trident and Polaris missile submarines.

        USS Georgia (SSBN 729).

        Lafayette's,

        USS Georgia (SSBN 729).

        Lafayette's, Madison's, and Franklin's = No vertical stabilizers. Plus, their TA fairings all went down the starboard side and stayed external to the MBTs and mud tank.

        Look closely at the brow canvas in the top picture.

        Take care,
        Bill

          I'll second that, This boat

          I'll second that, This boat is definitely an ohio.

          End plates and the array tubes out the side of the end plates give it awasy. Also it doesn't have a really tall rudder like the earlier boomers.
