So I loaded torpedoes into a Gato-class sub with Neal Stevens today...

I had a great time today meeting Onkel Neal and the volunteer staff of the USS Cavalla in Galveston! I helped out (actually more or less tried to stay out of the way!) with the loading of a couple torpedoes into the forward torpedo room.

Here's my photo album of the Cavalla and some pictures I took on the DE USS Stewart, which is also at Seawolf Park in Galveston. I didn't get as many as I would have liked of the actual torpedo load, but there's a ton of pictures of the interior of a Gato-class submarine. Enjoy!

Great pics mookiemookie, but you have to admit that Cavala's conning tower looks really awful!
