Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay is located adjacent to the town of St Marys in Camden County and not far from Jacksonville, Florida. The submarine base is the US Atlantic Fleet’s homeport for US Navy Fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarines armed with Trident missile nuclear weapons.

The Trident Refit Facility possesses the largest covered dry-dock in the world. A state-of-the-art Magnetic Silencing Facility provides degaussing services, including ranging and the removal of permanent magnetism from submarines of the US Navy and the British Royal Navy, as well as for steel-hulled surface warships. It is the only facility of its kind on the East Coast, and is also used for research for development of future magnetic systems. In addition, the Defensive Ordnance Support Facility maintains and stores all of the torpedoes carried by the Trident missile submarines.

Of course you won’t be allowed on the base to view these facilities unless you have the proper credentials, but any visitor can enjoy seeing and touching the USS Bancroft submarine as if it were surfacing at sea. It's especially impressive at night.
