What 's Inside? Submarine USS Drum

Today we are visiting USS Alabama Memorial Park. In this video we will be taking you inside the National Historic Landmark WWII submarine USS DRUM (SS-228). The DRUM is the oldest American submarine on public display. Also at the Battleship Memorial Park is the Medal of Honor Aircraft Pavilion, home to an extensive aircraft collection, historic vehicles and war artifacts. Dedicated to all of Alabama’s Medal of Honor recipients, the Aircraft Pavilion features a memorial wall that pays tribute to these heroes.
The USS DRUM was donated to the USS ALABAMA Battleship Commission on April 14,1969 and was brought to Mobile to join the USS ALABAMA at Battleship Memorial Park as a war memorial and museum. She was opened to the public for tours on July 4, 1969. We had so much fun visiting and learning. The weather was not the greatest on this day but we made the best of it.

My son in law was in subs in Silverdale, wa bangor. He did it for 16 years. They would go out for 6 mo. At a time submerged. He was on the Alaska. He retired after 25 years.

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Wow, 16 years on a submarine is a long time!

[@waffalobill]

I got pictures of me and my brothers at the Alabama and drum exhibit in the early 70s. My dad took us to Disneyland and they were just building space mountain. After that we went to his house in Pensacola for a while. Did some fishing and museum tours. When I was on the drum it was still in the water.

[@sharonhenderson9737]

My brother was on those for over 30 years. He loved it in fact he missed it when he retired from the Navy. If I remember right he served for 38 years.

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Wow

[@galemilton1741]

Fascinating thank you for sharing!

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Our pleasure!

[@lisaclay3137]

You were in my neck of the woods, when yall were visiting this place. Hope you enjoyed your visit, while you were here.

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Yes, it was fun. We just wish the weather was better.

[@anniereed6152]

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Hi Annie, thanks so much for the superchat and thanks for the lovely gift. We go live here in 40 min or so. ❤️

[@sandymarcus1493]

What a wonderful tour of the sub

[@janiswalker8434]

IVE BEEN ON USS ALABAMA SHIP AND USS DRUM IN 1982. I LIVE IN ALABAMA

[@Debbie_T_FL]

I could never go on a tour of that … way too claustrophobic! So, thanks for taking us along. I’m looking forward to seeing inside the Battleship! 🥰

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

It’s a tight squeeze!

[@cathysweet1905]

When I was younger, I would not have a problem going into a submarine. Since my last hospitalization I get anxiety in closed spaces.😢😢

[@shirleymarlin1593]

Hello, Madam Mayor and Brett. Thank you for taking us on this tour My uncle was a Navy man. but he was on the ship. My true love was also a Navy man, and he was in a sub. Mike ran off and joined the Navy after I ran out and married someone else. Big mistake on my part. But Mike had told me that the Navy is not for everyone, especially. being in a submarine. He would be out for months and months at a time.

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Submarine life can be tough. It's a very unique lifestyle, I would imagine.

[@Patricia-l9n]

Several years ago our son got married on a beach down there. It blew away in the hurricane (recieved a LOT of damage). On the way back to Mississippi where they lived at the time, we stopped and did the self tour of the sub. and ship outside. Didn't realize there was even a museum there to visit. It was interesting to see both. Not sure I would be able to live on a sub. Have a cousin that spent his Navy career on one though. My son was in the Navy at the time we were there. Unfortunately (or fortunately :>)) that marriage didn't last but he is now married to a wonderful lady and they have two beautiful boys and are visiting till next week for Christmas.

[@NinaCornett]

I love subs. Thanks for the tour… HOPE YOU BOTH HAD A GREAT NEW YEARS

[@AnthonyCicione]

Good one

[@maschwab63]

Ice Station Zebra is a good movie with Rock Hudson and Ernest Bourgnine where the water DOES come in when they open the torpedo tube.

[@sandrajordan9653]

You two should come to Pensacola to the Navy base and take a look at our museum.

[@haskellburks]

[@robyncasey89]

Not good, I couldn't do it, and I am a women.😮

[@redevil7081]

Happy New Year! Been there a couple of times, the warship and sub are so interesting. You would really enjoy the Naval air museum in Pensacola, Fla. also.

[@robertlamb7513]
