Mare Island Historic Park Museum
Life-size Polaris missile mockup dominates the park across from the museum.
As I recall from when studied this stuff as a teenager, the Polaris missiles were propelled from the submarine tubes from just under the surface by steam. The solid fuel of the missiles was ignited once they cleared the surface. Range: 1,600 miles for the first generation (later superseded by the Poseidon missiles).
Knots.
The latest in WWII communications technologies.
A clandestine radio transmitter.
The Iwo Jima flag was made at Mare Island.
Racial history, with the Japanese and the African-Americans at Port Chicago, is given its due.
Hiring now!
A prosthetic leg.
A Mekong River Delta patrol boat.
Under construction - the control room of the submarine USS Vallejo.
More on the Vallejo.
Model of the USS Vallejo.
Figurehead from the USS Independence, War of 1812.
