A View from the Deep: The Submarine Growler and the Cold War
Explore the history of the USS Growler—one of America’s first nuclear-missile submarines—in the context of the Cold War.





Nuclear-missile submarines prowl the world’s oceans, their crews standing ready for a launch order that they hope will never come. Explore the history and design of Growler, one of America's first nuclear-missile submarines. Historical artifacts, oral histories and immersive experiences offer a behind-the-scenes look at life on board. Then experience the actual submarine Growler!*
