The world’s first nuclear-powered submarine will reopen to the public this Friday, the Navy announced, one year after closing for a $36 million refurbishment, the Navy Times reports.
The USS Nautilus, a history-making boat and current exhibit at the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, Connecticut, had been undergoing renovations at the state’s Naval Submarine Base New London, where the “ship’s wooden deck replacement, repairs to the vessel’s superstructure, and restorations to the ship’s hull” were performed.
