Back in August of this year, I spent my vacation photographing naval historical sites.
My first site was the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, CT (USA).
I have posted my pics to
http://www.pbase.com/timmyg_00/submarine_force_museum for all to see. I have commented them where I could (corrections are welcome from those experts who know what I have mislabeled). There are numerous close-ups of Cold-War Era control panels, systems, and displays from inside the Museum as well as the USS Nautilus. I hope these will be useful to you 3D modelers and those working on independent sim projects, or just plain interesting to naval history buffs.
Forgive the crappy quality on some of the pics; I am slowly learning how to compensate for the less-than-optimum lighting conditions that seem to prevail at these historic sites. My camera is a Kodak DX7440 4MP, with no extra fancy lenses (but a tripod and monopod where necessary!).
More to come from my collections of the Russian Juliett-class SSG in Providence, RI, and Battleship Cove in Fall River, MA.
I hope you enjoy them.
