the USS Ling, in Jersey...

and the Growler (post wwii) in NY

--Mike

Been on the USS Drum (SS-228) in Mobile, Alabama when I was a kid and we visited the battleship USS Alabama (BB-60). On the website now (www.ussalabama.com) it shows the boat up on some kind of concrete pilings, but it seems to me that when I visited it it was in the water moored behind the battleship. This was early 1980s so it's been awhile.

Also been on the USS Clamagore (SS-343) at Patriot's Point here in Charleston. This was a late WWII commission that was then modified (several times, I suspect) and spent about thirty more years in active service.

Finally, was lucky enough to go on an active fast attack boat here some years back. It was a Sturgeon-class, pretty sure she was the USS Grayling but I can't remember 100%.

Thanks for your post, this is the same sub I've been on myself and all I could remember is that it was in Mobile next to the Alabama. I was there summer of '2002 I believe....may have been 2001.

And yes the Drum was on concrete pillars when I visted it.

Been on the uss Razorback (late ww2 sub) in Little Rock Ar. right after it arrived , from being towed all the way from Turkey.

USS Clamagore, its now a Guppy III conversion.

USS Pampanito, Bowfin, Torsk. BTW, the Cod rescued the crew of the Dutch sum O-1, and is still considered a vessel of the Dutch navy.

Yeah, funny how he forgot about ol' Cavalla :cry:

World War Two ... When was that?
 

I,yours truly, reported aboard the USS Salmon SS 573 in April 1963. She was built in 1956 as a radar picket sub SSR. She was the worlds largest non nuclear submarine at 350' length, but their were two WWII subs alongside the pier in Ballast Point Sub Base San Diego 1960's era. I had a friend on the USS Catfish at the same time I was in and the USS Redfish was used for trainning and Hollywood movies.

It was fun (in hindsight) :lol:

U.S.S. Drum and U-505 and though it don't count, some ex-Soviet Union Diesel-electric next to the Queen Mary.

Yeah...I saw the old VII C in Laboe, Kiel also....

Quite interesting since it was one of the few german subs who surived WW2 (Was'nt scuttled by the germans). Later it was given to the Norwegian navy as part of the war dept to Norway....

Just the USS Torsk in Baltimore.

USS Pampanito in SF and USS Becuna in Philly. Also the USS Hornet in Alameda and the Belfast in London (but obviously they're not subs).

By the way, the USS Cod rescued the crew of the O19, not O1. It's quite an interesting read actually:

U-2540 in Bremerhaven, Germany and the USS Bowfin at Pearl Harbor.

Too bad there are so few U-boats left today.... DAMN YOU OPERATION DEADLIGHT!!!! :-j

U-534 in Birkinhead

USS Pampanito in San Francisco
And U-1, the very first sub of the Kriegsmarine (pre-WW1) in the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Ok you cannot enter it, but it is cut open and you stand a meter or two away from the interior.

USS Pampanito, 2x. And a few other more modern subs in US and France.

And the CV Hornet in Alameda, twice too.

But the best of all times is the "Victory" in Portsmouth, UK: Nelson's ship at Trafalgar. A great visit, you have to see this.



By the ways, the correct quote is "Mobilis in mobile", not "mobili".

SUUUuuuuuuuuure it wasnt you Dreb....... :roll:

I have the pleasure of working in the City that the Razorback is docked in. Please note that's NORTH Little Rock, Arkansas (which is a separate municipality from LR).

I am a firefighter in NLR; we escorted the 394 upriver with our fireboat and saw it to dock on the north bank of the river. We also had the pleasure of spending about 16 hours practicing on how to remove a 300-pound fat girl with a broken hip from inside the boat by winching her up through the deck hatches.

The torpedo loading hatches, we decided, were not an option. They have braces installed across them.

....dangit, I can't figure out how to stick image files in these posts....
