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. [Mike Weeks, 04/08/2005][RA: Is it a sign of the End Times when submarines start surfacing in Idaho? Another landlocked Naval vessel is in South Dakota.]
