I'm used to the Cavalla down in Galveston. She's permanently buried in the ground. Feeling Pampanito rolling on the waves was an odd sensation.

Couldn't say. Both periscopes were lowered, so I couldn't look through. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

One thing that disappoints me is how much plexi-glass they have. A lot of controls are behind plexi-glass, and most of the smaller rooms (galley, officers' quarters) were blocked off. Made it hard to get good pictures. The conning tower didn't have any, though.
