Sub recovery site

The sub recovery site (SSN-37-1A) is a location .
==Background==
The sub recovery site was where the U.S. military was attempting to raise a covert Chinese submarine lodged in the shallow waters off the coast of Point Lookout.
The submarine, the SSN-37-1A, was sent to patrol hostile waters along the East Coast of the United States of America.Sub recovery site terminal entries It was discovered by the U.S. shortly before the Great War, and the crew was captured before they could scuttle the submarine. The two man crew then attempted to commit suicide with cyanide pills, but only the captain's pill worked, and the surviving crew member was transferred to Turtledove Detention Camp.Turtledove Detention Camp terminal entries; terminal, Doe, John (submariner)
The submarine is still partially functional by 2277. While the player is unable to interact with much of the submarine's equipment, it still has functional electric generators on board. These generators are able to power the lights and air filtration systems on board, while the flood pumps have managed to keep most of the submarine free of water, but seem unable to keep pace with water leaking into the submarine, leaving the floor of the submarine partially flooded.
==Layout==
===Exterior===
Above the waterline are a small stranded boat and a buoy. Below, is a medium-sized submarine with a hatch on top.
===Interior===
The submarine, based on her external size, is extremely compact inside. There is only one accessible room, with just two beds available. The ladder leads straight into the roof and a pipe spraying water is also severed in another point but not leaking. There is a silver mainframe computer at the forward end of the chamber, and a generator leaking some kind of green goo to the aft. The sub has about a foot of irradiated water along the floor.

==Notes==
* On the terminal screen, there's a Chinese idiom "Shì shàng wú nán shì, zhi pà you xin rén" (世上无难事, 只怕有心人) which roughly translates to "There's nothing impossible in the world if you put your mind to it."
* One will need to swim through irradiated water in order to access the sub, and there is constant radiation inside the vessel.
* The vessel is adjacent to another vessel that the player cannot enter. Under the adjacent vessel are a locked safe and two first aid boxes.
* This location is unmarked on the map even with the Explorer perk until the player is told to go there during The Velvet Curtain.
* Discovering this location is not needed for the Bog Walker achievement.
* An Average-locked personal footlocker is below the bottom cot.
* The submarine will be destroyed during The Velvet Curtain.
* If one stands on top of the personal footlocker, jumps, and presses the interact button before they hit the water, they will be able to sleep in the bed.

==Behind the scenes==
* The designation SSN (Submersible Ship, Nuclear) is used by the majority of NATO countries including the United Kingdom's Royal Navy and the United States Navy to designate nuclear-powered attack (or fleet) submarines. The real world Chinese Navy does not use this designation system.
* The coordinates refer to actual points around the Chesapeake Bay (Norfolk, Virginia, USA) into which the Potomac River flows: Google Maps Overview.
