[quote=WilhelmSchulz.]The only thing is that the conning tower is empty. And thats the busyest place submerged!

As I recall from visiting the USS Drum, the conning tower of a Gato sub is REALLY cramped - claustrophobic, in fact. I doubt that there could possibly have been more than one or two people in there with the skipper... I think a lot of the work on the attack may have taken place down in the control room?

Anybody know how the conning tower was actually manned in an attack?
