Have you ever been inside a real wwii sub ?
 
I've googled and search for the sub that was at Skara summerland in Sweden.It is aprox 15 years ago, but I can't find any information.Still I can remmeber the tiny spaces inside the sub. My girlfriend at the time just looked at me with strange eyes when she saw that I had the time of my life going threw the boat and inspecting every inch of it. From my memory it looked very alike a VII class sub.Would have been great to figure out the U nr and type of boat.

Yep, I have been in USS Pampanito:

Went to the Museum of Science & Industry jn Chicago in 1986 and toured the U-505. This was before I began playing computer games so I did not pay as much attention to details as I would today. It was odd to see a German U-boat in Chicago.

Went on the Pampanito too. Great tour. Very well done restoration.
Would like to see the VIIC in Kiel one day

Visited USS Becuna (SS-319) in Philadelphia and U505 in Chicago.

Saw the corroded hull of U-534 as it lay on the docks of Grenaa, Denmark some years ago. Some newspaper magnate raised it in the hope of finding mad treasure and plunder. But I think he mostly got silt.

I've had the privilege of touring U-505 in Chicago (multiple times) and U-534 in Birkenhead, both IXC's.

It would be a grand slam if I could have gone on the subclub's trip to Bremerhaven and Laboe.

Yes! I forgot what it's called (the last time I went was maybe 5 years ago) if anyone knows, it's the one in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the one with the tigershark on the front.

U-534, Birkenhead.

clive bradbury 08-25-05 08:31 AM

Oh, and the Holland I - first RN sub.

Adam Bailey 08-25-05 08:41 AM

U-505 in Chicago
and
USS Cod in Cleveland (GO SEE THIS!)

" Today, Cod is one of the finest restored submarines on display and is the only U.S. submarine that has not had stairways and doors cut into her pressure hull for public access. Visitors to this proud ship use the same vertical ladders and hatches that were used by her crew."
