Most of us have driven cars and flown in planes, but relatively few of us are going to join the military and get an opportunity to get into a submarine. Fortunately, the Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum [in] Honolulu, Hawaii, offers a pretty rich history of the USS Bowfin, an attack sub that was put in service during World War II. You'll find plenty of info about subs in wartime, including their role in the Cold War. Obviously, the real highlight is boarding the now-decommissioned Bowfin, which was nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger." If you're claustrophobic, the museum cautions that it's probably not a good idea. But, you can take pictures from shore.
