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: http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/boats/boat_o19.htm |
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". |

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.... Nalcrom99 [/img] |
HMS Alliance at Gosport nearly counts (launched 1947) and the Holland 1. Intend visiting U534 soon.

What about using the torpedo tubes to actually launch her with compressed air? ;) |
No real WW2 boats I'm afraid. :(
Only seen the "Das Boot" prop in Bavaria Studios Munich which is a 1:1 scale interior model that cannot be opened and can only be accessed through the aft torpedo room, the bow torpedo room and an access halfway through. Therefore the experience to a real sub is similar. Also had a look into U-1 in the "Deutsches Museum" also in Munich. It's been cut open, so you can't go inside but get a good impression on how damned crowded it was. The only real boats I was inside were a Typ 206A class German uboat (U-9) in Speyer, Germany, which is much smaller than a Typ VII C. http://www.mx-5-roadster.de/Speyer/images/a_U-9.jpg http://www.mx-5-roadster.de/Speyer/i..._zentrale2.jpg http://www.mx-5-roadster.de/Speyer/i..._zentrale1.jpg They also have a German Mini uboat there which is hardly larger, than a torpedo. http://www.mx-5-roadster.de/Speyer/images/a_04.jpg And then there was a visit to a Russian Foxtrott in Greenwich, UK. http://www.mx-5-roadster.de/London/L_sub.jpg |

Sorry about the Little Rock, North Little Rock thing. I just heap all the metro together. Meant no offense. Never had this problem, since Hot Springs isn't half of a twin cities.
