I just had to post some pics.

Well i made a video or slideshow for everybody that couldn't be at Seawolf park!
And the video can be found here -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anuAMWGMkUY

It took me like 4 hours to make this video so don't tell me it's bad.

I was in the foreward compartment, on the receiving end :)

It's me :ping:

No one lost any fingers, but sure glad we were not at sea. Mookie and I discussed how the subsims should model this in the game. If you are loading external torps, you cannot dive!

Neal

Wow, Neal, I always thought you were bald.:o

Thanks for the pics Neal! Tho, makes me kinda sad to see you guys having all the fun! :cry:

I had a blast today. Here's my photo album from the torpedo load, as well as pictures I took of the interior of the Cavalla and some from the DD USS Stewart, which is also at Seawolf Park.

That dashingly handsome man in blue with his hands on his hips is me :up:

Handsome? Yeah, right....:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :smug:

Those bow planes might come in handy for the next hurricane, uh?

I use to work at Four Season's on the Gulf for Mr. Phillips back in 81 there.

I see flak guns on the bridge, but do not see deck gun on the deck...:doh: :smug:

I never did ask the Onkel why they were loading fish.Has the torpedo room just been renovated or have you just acquired the fish as an exhibit?

Fram II got to her, a update to moderize old fleet boats in the early 50's ...

She was made even more special than other boats with the sonar bow addition.

Still a submarine, just a specialized submarine ... some were even turned into oilers and one was converted to refuel seaplanes.

Hey Neil,

I was out there Saturday, things look great on the Cavalla. Its been at least ten years since I had been out to Seawolf. I didn't realise that those Mark-14s were recent additions. I know the one parked aft of her stern tube came from the Texas. I can't say enough how impressed I was how much progress the Cavalla has made since I was last there, but the Stewart still looks rough. Beaching a ship in dirt is not a good idea, I have seen that first hand, on the Texas, where bulkheads have rippled and bowed 6 inches or more out of true.

If you want to volunteer out at the Texas doing honest to god restoration work you can. If your interested I can put you in touch with the person you need to make contact with.
