I'm sure some of it may be new - however on the tour we were told that during the museum conversion, a lot of old equipment was re-fitted to the sub to be period-accurate. Certainly some parts are just "the closest thing", but a lot of it does look authentic. Nothing jumped out at me as non-period technology there, as I said - I was actually more struck by the absence of a lot of newer (compared to this) equipment I got used to seeing aboard WWII subs in SHIII and IV...

Cool bump!

CCIP, I didn't recognize you w/o the fur hat and the kalashnikov:rotfl:

Ochen interesno CCIP. Spasibo.

I was amazed as to how similar the hull is to that of a VII

Can you go up into the conning tower?

Great photos and thanks for posting. I got some serious "Das Boot" daydreams from some of them. Something about the word "Alarm!" and runing like mad through hatches along the full lenght of the boat.:arrgh!:

:lol:

I don't think going up to the conning tower is part of the tour, but they didn't mind me climbing up the ladder and taking a peek (and the photo you see).

Thanks for the bump :D Would be nice if more people saw these pics. Even in the absense of the fur hats and all...

BUMP


;)

Lovely pics. It always amazes me how people don't check out the local attractions where they live, but will blindly walk by them for years :nope:, and I'm as guilty as the next man, or frau.

:yeah:

Excellent pictures thanks for sharing them.

Hehe, good to see these pics are still up and being looked at. Great memories - wish I could go back and see it again!

Aye missed them then.
