Was a set of the bow tubes removed for the sonar attachment? And if so, what about the sub's butt. Shouldn't there be two tubes on each side?

Plat, if you look closely at the bow photos, you'll see the two lower shutter doors between the boat and the dry dock wall. I'm guessing those will be reinstalled(?) I hope!

There were six tubes forward, four aft - the middle two tubes forward had the shutters plated over, as were the top two tubes aft (at both ends, corresponding - roughly - with the waterline as the boat sits in the harbor these days).

The two lower shutter doors aft were removed in the 50's or early sixties, iirc.

Ah! Thanks for explaining that. That makes sense... even to me. :88)

The door was blasted and painted. I believe the door will be reinstalled.

The Torsk will go home Monday:

Torsk came through with only a few small surprises. "The extra time in dock has been good for the sub," Rowsom said, and she returns with three fresh coats of epoxy paint.

The sub's one remaining bronze propeller was removed, he said, and will be incorporated into a local memorial to the men of the World War II submarine service.
