I read this article about the change of command at the Trident Traning Center.

The photo caption says "the deck of the Woodrow Wilson" is on display there. Just how much of the boat is at the park?

The Sail and Rudder of the "Woodie Woo" is there. The hull shape is recreated and the missile deck area consists of engraved bricks purchased to honor shipmates or note their own service. The SUBFORCE at BANGOR uses the park for ceremonies, like change of command, tolling the boats, re-enlistments, etc. It was dedicated in 2000.
