I've been aboard a few retired submarines. My favorite was the Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine. It was featured in The Iron Giant. The captured U-505 in Chicago was also interesting. Female sailors were not assigned to submarines until fairly recently.

The Nautilus is shown around the 2-minute mark of the clip below.
Down Periscope is probably the best comedy about the Navy.
The whole movie is on YouTube for free. Tora! Tora! Tora! is another great Navy movie on YouTube for free.
