USS Drum (SS-228) website - Drum228.org

I'm working on a website that is just for the USS Drum (SS-228). I'm trying to cover all the bases - history, photos, war patrol reports, and museum information including restoration. All of this in one central place.

Updating the website all the time, take a look:

After all, she is our OLDEST American WWII-era museum submarine.

All 13 of the USS Drum's war patrols are now online!

Completed a WWII crew roster (updates and corrections are still in store I'm sure). Added some photos to war patrols 1, 5, 9, and 14.

Confirmed that she did have a pair of 5"/25 deck guns when she left Hunters Point for what would have been patrol 14. How awesome.

To be honest, I know nothing about Mobile. My wife and I just drive down there to visit Battleship Memorial Park and to eat at a good seafood restaurant just down the road (Original Oyster House (http://www.originaloysterhouse.com/)).

However, Mobile is a large city. Maybe you could find something on the Mobile Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau (http://www.mobile.org/) website. I'm not much help.

I'll be returning there on March 19th if everything works out.

Cool! In SH4 I'm playing as the U.S.S. Drum in the early war. I've sprung a few leaks(10% hull damage), but sunk many japs!

The real "Drum" will interest me now also in research. The Drum was the first of the Gato's! I'm building a 52 inch Gato model, but the coning tower is later war.

I'll have to drag my friend from Alabama along. I'll need a translator anyway:haha:

I, too, was assigned the Drum when I played SH4 :D
