Seeing a WWII sub underway like that, even for a short time, is really a touching sight. It's like a little piece of history coming alive! Great ships both of them, of course.

But was she proceeding under her own steam?

That last photo shows her missing at least one of her screws :DL

From the earlier pics, looks like the tug was moving her.

Thanks for sharing these pics.

No, keep the tower, we have examples of pure WWII fleet boat configs, we need to preserve the GUPPY configs like Torsk and Cavalla, too. :shucks:

Tug boat pulled. The prop is in Philadelpia at a submarine memorial.

Agreed. The boat is being kept in this trim. Cold war GUPPY. Need to get the damn sharks mouth off!!! :stare:

The old girl will get some new sheet metal on the belly. She is a bit soft in that area.
