Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho

I wonder if that's near Arco. Will look up. Or someone on the sub was from Arco? I'm gonna have to do some research. :)

So now we know!:

Devil Boat - Submarine In The Desert

On Hwy 20/26 in Arco, ID is the conning tower of the fast-attack nuclear submarine USS Hawkbill (SSN-666), aka “The Devil Boat.” A local told me that “The Submarine In The Desert” was installed in July 2003 to show their support of the armed forces and because of the town’s long association with the Navy and the nuclear fleet.
