This was early 1980s so it's been awhile.
Also been on the USS Clamagore (SS-343) at Patriot's Point here in Charleston. This was a late WWII commission that was then modified (several times, I suspect) and spent about thirty more years in active service.
Finally, was lucky enough to go on an active fast attack boat here some years back. It was a Sturgeon-class, pretty sure she was the USS Grayling but I can't remember 100%. |
Thanks for your post, this is the same sub I've been on myself and all I could remember is that it was in Mobile next to the Alabama. I was there summer of '2002 I believe....may have been 2001.
And yes the Drum was on concrete pillars when I visted it.
