When I got my 1/72nd scale Gato model, I had a hard time deciding on which boat to make (they didn't provide a full set of numbers, kind of stupid) Then I noticed they had the Growler in there and I applied the proper decals immediately. It's proudly on display, and everyone who even glances at the model gets to hear the story. It's quite a tale, thanks for the link Ducimus!
