I went to a US naval museum somewhere in Virginia when I did the 8th grade Washington DC trip. They had a submarine periscope on display, with the business end pointing out the roof. You could drape your arms around it like the wiley submarine commander in war movies and turn around to look outside. 

The resolution was amazing to me as a kid.

They also had a moving Bofors 40mm AA gun - lots of fun as kids with a friend of mine, one trying to traverse, the other trying to elevate the gun in some coordinated fashion - and failing miserably.
