Another submarine? We've seen submarines! Where's the starships? :O:

thanks for the pix!:up:

What is this weird structure at the stern in the last picture supposed to be? My guess would be that it was attached after the boat went out of operation.

Prop guard maybe?

that would definitely be a prop guard.
it would keep the screws from swinging into the wharf.
also, to keep from sucking in nets and mine cables.
I've seen similar guards on battleships and destroyers.

Beautiful pics! Still floating. I wonder if her engines still run?:hmmm:

What city is she docked at?

well, if the engines still run, they are going to have trouble a couple of them up.
Our very own Ivank flooded them.:D
I talked him out of flipping the lever all the way over to the start position. But I'm sure that they thought of that way in advance.

Lionfish is located in Fall River, Massachusetts (the one state everyone misses on their spelling quizzes :doh:)
along with a plethora of other ships

First thing in any military equipment activation checklist that I've ever seen is to make sure every switch and lever is in the starting or off position so disaster may be averted! :DL
