I know the place well, or at least I did back in 1995-1996. Freshman year, I went to Connecticut College, which is in New London. (Actually, it is two stops before Groton Naval Base on I-95.)
Back at ConnColl, I helped set up the Hillel and our first field trip was to the sub base for a tour of the USS City of Corpus Christi (gotta love the irony), which was arraigned by the Chaplain. Loads of fun and unlike the taller members, I did not hit my head :-)
