There is, the USS Drum. WWII subs were often named after fish, and the Drum was named after that, not a musical instrument. Some sort of award was given to the engineers who figured out how to get the rusting Drum up onto dry land and berthed in concrete supports with out tearing up the submarine.

There is also an aircraft museum, the pride of which, in my opinion, is an SR-71 Blackbird, and a B-52 and some other stuff, like WWII tanks and some amphibious stuff that my uncle might have used in Korea.
