OT: U.S.S. Grayling memorial

shoot-kill-win · 09-21-07, 02:02 PM

Here are my photos from the U.S.S. Grayling memorial and the U.S.S. Batfish, There is one photo of a plaque that says: "U.S.S. Grayling Submarine sunk here, telephone inside, is the only remaining piece from the Grayling it was a bouy system used during peacetim in case of an accident it would be floated to the top, it was removed during war. Also I have a picture looking from the bridge towards the bow on the Batfish, you can see the 20mm. Enjoy!

I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" page.

Just so you know, pictures of WW2 subs, museums and memorials are never 'off-topic' on the SH3/SH4 pages (at least not in my opinion).

Thank you for letting me know sailor steve, it should be fixed now.

Works great now! The Grayling part is sad; the Batfish pictures are fantastic! It's to bad she's parked on dry land, but nice to see close-ups of the stern tubes. Interior shots are great as well.

Thanks, those pictures are before I volunteered there, when I volunteered I spent about 5 hours polishing the fore and aft tubes in the Batfish, and now they are gleaming.

How was thssub moved to dryland intact?

There's a sub in Peril in Hoboken NJ that's afloat but the docks and place she rests at are in jeopardy and the landowners have issued an ultimatum to the museum there to move it...

Sure would be nice to know what moved that sub....

Well the Batfish was brought up from New Orleans via the Mississippi then the Arkansas, and when they got it to Muskogee (Oklahoma) they realized the Batfish was to long to go around the next curve in the river. So the WWII subvets called in an excavation service and they dug out a ditch big enough for the Batfish and floater her into it, then built up awall between the Batfish and the River. the ditch is below the river level.
