The CSS Hunley is on public display right now. Saturdays and Sundays only, but it is still in a water tank due to the necessity of soaking out the salts accumulated in 140 years under water. According to the conservators I have spoken with it might be more than a decade before she can be displayed in the open air al la the Vasa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship) .
