The RN Submarine Museum is next door to HMS Dolphin in Gosport, Hants.

An excellent museum. The are a number of submarines on display which include HMSm Alliance, which you can walk through, an X-craft, a mini submarine of the type used against the Tirpitz in Norway and a Holland class submarine, a petrol-electric boat recovered from the Channel and of the first commercialy built ones used by the RN.

Inside the museum are many displays including exhibits from my last boat HMSm Conqueror.

If you ever get down there you can spend a day visiting HMS Victory, the Mary Rose (Henry VIII period ship) and HMS Warrior a lone surviving ironbuilt navy ship from the Vistorian period.

The book on K-19 covers not just the K-19 incident but others as well of the Russian K class which were a design disaster.

Sorry for high-jacking (shanghaiing even? this thread)
