Per my request, Neal created a sub-forum under Books, Movies, Etc. titled Submarine Museums/Restoration Forum. It's mainly a place to discuss restoration, equipment operation, and repair efforts of WWII subs here in the U.S. I asked for this since I know of several people on here that work on these old boats. All are welcome to post, though. Here's the link:
