Seems like you guys actually held onto some of your WW2 ships and subs for future generations ...

If you go "the long way", and stop in at Pearl Harbor... man... The Mighty Mo watching over the Arizona - haunting. I've been on the Wisconsin also, at the other end of the U.S.ofA. The Norfolk Naval Base is down the road from there, and you'll see any number of ships "at home", including the big carriers. I couldn't quite see as much of the active navy at Pearl. Then you go see one of the subs scattered about the US, and you realize just how small them things are/were, and why they called them "boats" instead of ships. They're about the size of a football field - er, rugby field...

Thanks for sharing the pics, cdrsubron7.
Does anyone know why the conning tower is so big?

Great work! I'm very impressed by this.

Nice.

What camera did you use?

In the future, when in low light situations, bump your ISO up, that will allow you to select a faster shutter speed. Looks like the first set of images was taken at a 15th of a sec or lower. Its almost impossible to get a sharp image handholding a camera with that low of a shutter speed.

Thanks for sharing!

When I was maybe 7 or 8 I visited the Carnegie Science Center and toured the USS Requin. This is the sub that made me fall in love with subs.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. The Requin was also involved in searching for the Skipjack class Submarine, USS Scorpion SSN 589, when the Scorpion was lost in May of 1968.

Welcome aboard as well Hiarhu
