The USS Silversides is a floating sub museum in Muskegon, Michigan, and has a small museum dedicated to submarines. It's apparently in working order.
They have a tour, and it was excellent for kids and adults
I've been there twice - an excellent experience...
One thing (of many I learned) was that the deck wood on the boats was teak- not for water resistance, but because it didn't float and thus would not reveal a sub had been through if a piece was lost...

If you're ever in the New York metropolitan area, the USS Ling (Balao Class, 1945?) is a museum anchored in Hackensack, NJ. Tiny little sucker, when you get right next to it.

Heck, the passive sonar on our attack subs can track the clicks of shrimp! Here's a laugh...Maybe they are planning on trying to immitate the sounds of shrimp. But if you our guys pick up a shrimp clicking along at 10 nauts, that might be a give-away ;)

It seems to me that active pinging would locate them.

The last I heard, the Requin is somewhere in the midwest like Kansas City or St. Louis.

I think we can track schools of shrimp, let alone a diesel engine.

you could...but active sonar commits the Cardinal sin of giving away YOUR position

To fill the hole in the ocean diesel subs should make artificial ocean noise.

Once you ping they know where you are. Is is not a solution.

I don't think Harriers can carry ASW torpedoes.

That would depend on who is doing the pinging. If the person doing the pinging is hovering a few dozen feet above the water, there isn't much you can do about it.

The Nautilus is a floating museum just outside the Sub Base in Groton, CT. It's the only (and the original) nuke boat on display, as far as I know.
