Nice photos! I should have got some on the midget Japanese Sub in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra when I was there last year.:cry:

Stunning photos, god alive, that is two places I want to visit now.

Kiel and Chicago. No prizes for guessing why! :D

Thanks for sharing them photographs guys.

Anyone notice there is a much larger use of wood in the German sub as opposed to a US sub of the era? I know Subs aren't built for their asthetics, so maybe this is a resource difference? I don't think I would have been allowed on the tour after the dressing down you recieved ^^ Thanks for taking one for the team ;)

Still, the boat has some pretty sexy lines despite her condition. Thanks for the pictures Ironclad, Mcbee. Always a pleasure seeing stuff like this.

I think it was mainly because in the Pacific, inside the boat was very very hot, and very very humid, so wood would warp and ruin a whole lot faster than in an Atlantic U-Boat.

How did I miss this thread. :damn: :damn: Too much time in the Atlantic thanks to SHIII GW2.0 probably.

Great pics and well written commentry. :rock: Thanks for sharing. :up:

Ok, I will try and find some pics of the inside of a British and a Japanese sub. If the British interior looks like the German interior and the Japanese interior looks like the American interior, I would say you are on to something.

Great pics, great thread :up:

great pics, thanks for sharing!
