Pretty cool, though I think I would go crazy being underwater for 90 days!

No, that's an active in-service submarine.

Growler (SSG-577) is the one on display at the Intrepid Museum

During World War II (1939–45), submarines primarily served in an anti-ship attack role. By the start of the Cold War (1948–89), they were part of a new defensive strategy. American submarines armed with nuclear missiles would patrol near Russian territory, thereby deterring them from launching an attack on the United States. The former USS Growler (SSG-577) was one of these early U.S. Navy guided missile submarines.

The Growler at the Intrepid Museum was named for the highly decorated World War II Gato-class submarine Growler (SS-215), which was lost in action in the Pacific in 1944. As with the like-designed, slightly earlier USS Grayback (SSG-574), the Growler was laid down as an attack submarine, but was altered to carry Regulus I nuclear missiles. The Growler was commissioned at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine on August 30, 1958. She soon joined four other Regulus missile submarines at Pearl Harbor to form Submarine Squadron 1. Between 1960 and 1963, the Growler conducted eight strategic deterrent patrols in the western Pacific, each of which lasted about two months.

While the Growler patrolled the Pacific, the Navy was developing improved submarines and missiles. Regulus missile submarines had to surface to launch their weapons and to operate their diesel generators. The new generation of nuclear-powered Polaris ballistic missile submarines could launch their weapons while submerged and could remain underwater for the duration of a patrol. The Growler was decommissioned on May 25, 1964 and was scheduled to be destroyed as a test target. In 1989, the Growler became part of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum complex. The Growler serves as a uniquely preserved survivor of this type of early American nuclear missile submarine and offers visitors a glimpse back into the Cold War 1950s and 1960s.

Sorry, not exactly familiar with American submarines, however, i think that that kind of stuff would be confidential etc. etc.
