Talbot Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Too bad we can't keep it here. It's going to Connecticut.But it's a cool sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1976 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Too bad it's not open to the public. I remember when the public was allowed to get a look at the USS Houston when it arrived in town back in the early 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian in Iraq Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Too bad we can't keep it here. It's going to Connecticut.But it's a cool sub.It is a new sub. Maybe in 50 some odd years or whenever it retires it can be parked along side the battleship in the San Jacinto historic site.

Maybe we'll get the USS Houston parked somewhere in town as a tourist site before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new major on the block Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The sad part is that the USS Houston would probably end up in NYC where they will pronounce the sub as "HOUSE ton" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
