Part 19 here
Today we were planning to get to the Washington DC, the capital of the United States. But first we wanted to explore the ships that dad had noticed yesterday when we returned from the Independence Hall. OK, here we were. The sailing ship is a cafe, but other two – the submarine and cruiser, are part of the museum, so it is possible to walk inside.
First was the submarine, named Becuna. It was launched in January 1944, commissioned in May 1944. Unlike the Albacore, it is a combat submarine, has forward and after torpedo rooms and made 5 combat patrols.
Cafe is inside that sailing ship
Two ships that can be visited
Forward torpedo room. Sailors sleep right next to the torpedos
Room for officers
Engines
After torpedo room. Sailors slept here as well
Size of torpedo is larger than torpedoes in forward room
The cruiser Olimpia was launched in 1892, it is the oldest steel warship afloat. When we went inside, we were surprised by it’s size. Much more open space then in submarine. 
Officer’s cabin
We walked and looked how everything is made and suddenly… Rats!
Can you spot her?
There are ton of rats on that ship! You can see rats everywhere –
in the cabins …
… on the ceilings …
… on the tables …
… inside the bathtubs …
…in the kitchen area
Rats are looking to the portholes …
… hiding inside the cabinets …
… and bags…
So the exploring of the ship became running on the desks and happy shouts were heard from the different directions “I found another one!”
There are 30 rats are hidden inside the cruiser’s secret place. We were able to find 24, but after all desks were walked through several times we decided to stop the search and move on.
In the evening we drove by huge yellow Dummy, that asks to buckle the seat belt. Those dummies (but human sized) are used in the car crash tests.
