The USS Pampanito's excellent seaworthyness condition got me thinking that maybe one day: all the sub lovers of America (or maybe the world) could join forces to get her back into tip top shape and out to sea again, load her up with fuel and supplies (and 1 or 2 perfect replica of a MRK 14 Torpedo with a live 643 Ib torpex warhead  ), sail the world, dive deep (800 FT!! ), and maybe even participate in a constructive ship sinking event where the target ship would be torpedoed by the USS Pampanito to create new reefs. Ahhhh whadda dream. :hmm: |
Sounds like an idea alot of us could get behind, and would contribute to.
