Not being a local, can't answer directly. But after much searching (CT public transit leaves much to be desired and no route maps). I'm not allowed to put a link but if you search on SEA Corridor Routes and click on the first result you can check the schedule for Route 2 which goes from downtown New London and passes the sub base. Route schedule say New London/Water street which is right downtown. Could be near the Amtrak station or the Greyhound bus station. Hope this helps.
Q:
How long should I plan to spend at the museum/Nautilus/shop?
A:
I'd allow 2-3 hours. The movie & the submarine explore will take an hour by themselves. If you are one to read every description & stop at every display, allow 4.
Q:
What days land hours will I be able to your a submarine
A:
Thanks Tom P for your info. The web site has a lot of info and reviews about the place.
