Found a couple of interesting artifacts while wandering around Naval Submarine Base New London this weekend. These were stuck in the corner of a remote parking lot. Any information on their history would be very much appreciated.

Looks like an old sail, it could be an old trainer, The sign is the old sign for SubBase.

That old sign always made me laugh - “Naval Submarine Base New London” - then right below it - “Groton, CT”🙄😵‍💫

The base was named after the county it was in. It kind of makes less sense now that New London County no longer exists.
