Aha! And a danged ugly non-Guppy she is too! Is that the ugliest submarine bow ever made or what? OK, so that's a Frankenstein's Monster submarine, not a Guppy. Anyone have some good pics of a Guppy?
Never mind. Check out the Guppy III USS Corporal, SS 346 and friends. Now THOSE are beautiful boats! Note that they are NOT based on U-Boats.
Guppy III! Wouldn't be a bad way to go. They look downright exotic!
