Submarine Sleepovers

This is pretty common among museum ships. I remember sleeping over on the USS Massachusetts (Battleship Cove) when I was young, and I've been watching the USS New Jersey's youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Ftxa2jwg8R4IWDw48uyBw) and I know they do it as well.

Relevant also is the Smarter Every Day series where the host took a cruise on an operational nuclear submarine. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQR...

Yes! I loved our Battleship Cove trip in Cub Scouts. We also got to tour an old submarine. It had a very particular old timey chemical smell to it that I've only ever encountered in one other place; Building 20 at MIT (RIP).

Also a veteran of the Cub Scout sleepover at Battleship Cove. An awesome memory.

Asbestos maybe.

I think they do this with the USS Hornet aircraft carrier:

I remember seeing a corvette club meet there, and I believe they drove their cars onboard.

YSK about Tiger Cruises, where family can come aboard the ship to see what day to day life is like.
