I knew it! I went through it once. That picture makes me sad though. Seeing it decaying like that.
When I stepped foot on it, it was still in the water. Its a Gato class whcih is my favorite class. I need to dig up the pictures that my family took when we were there.
"She received a total of 12 battle stars for World War II service. She is credited with sinking 15 ships, a total of 80,580 tons of enemy shipping, eighth highest of all U.S. submarines in total Japanese tonnage sunk." |
Hey Link.....I think this picture was at refurbishing and final stop for the Drum. Notice the dirt mounds? Perhaps to sure up the hull for stability?
