I was at Navsource.org and found a very interesting Visual Guide in .pdf format written by David L. Johnston under what's new. This gentleman has documented the conning tower fairwater configurations throughout WWII. Really a cool read and not really that long. I have had questions answered I have long wondered about. I really do like the modified Gato fairwater!!:DL

Excellent reading, just something I have been eager to find out lately. And it drops right out of the sky in your post here. :) Thanks!

It is good to see that Gatos in game have all 4 Mod CTs modeled. I wish that we could have early Balao CTs as well, but you can't have it all... :)

The Visual Guides have been updated to also include S-boats:

Indeed. Haven't read about S-Boats before, thanks for updating this thread.
