No offense taken, but we do have a double hose regulator named after the Trieste… I don’t know of anything that has been named after the Alvin (maybe a chipmunk
)… I am just saying…
I did see the Alvin and a lot of other extremely cool stuff in the National Museum of the U.S. Navy and the Cold War Museum next to it. I like these types of museums a lot and Christine and I determined that we have to go back to these ones.
Earlier this year I also had the chance to go to the Naval Undersea Museum (in Keyport, WA) and the Puget Sound Navy Museum (in Bremerton, WA). I highly recommend all of the above.
In the Naval Undersea Museum I saw the Trieste II (a very similar, but somewhat different design). There were also all kinds of cool stuff.
If you ever go with me, be prepared to spend a lot of time. I can take a lot of time reading the labels on the exhibits (as Ryan found out).
