Just wondering what real subs any of you have been on? Two summers ago I had the pleasure of going to Hawaii on my honeymoon (my wife is also a history teacher)and had the pleasure to spend some time on the USS Bowfin (SS-287). Then a month later I attended a confernce in Philly, Gettysburg and DC and while in Philly I made it over to the USS Becuna (SS-319). In college I wrote my thesis on the US sub war against Japan so I gave all the other teachers a tour of the boat and announced what room we were about to enter before we entered it (I'm sure they hated me). I have yet to see a Gato or any other class in real life and I am anxiously looking forward to one day spending some time on one.
