Default Nuclear subs use the East River!

Russian subs await US subs leaving Groton at the east end of Long Island
Sound.

On several ocassions, US subs have gone west to the East River and out to
the Atlantic via the Hudson Trench.

It's true!

Do any of the Boats have a U-boat designation?

Oh, and a shallow enough draft for the Great Peconic? :^)

Here's just one documented instance:

"Eisenhower needed to restore American prestige," says Mechanical
Engineering. "The reaffirmation of United States superiority was celebrated
with a tickertape parade for the crew in New York, while the Nautilus was
escorted up the East River."

Got several pics of GW, EA class nukes in the East River too!

Busted, bubble brain!

The revenue cutter service ran a submarine out of NorthPort harbor in the
1930's.
