... your driving down a rural stretch of road and you pass this thing up.

Thanks for sharing the link!

StarLion45 · 12-18-08, 04:46 PM

Red Heat · 12-18-08, 05:03 PM

Great stuff...no words!

I don't know how my wife would take it when a sub appeared in our backyard! It's almost up there with what happened a few years ago when the navy was keeping the last oberon subs operational.
They needed a replacement part for one of the last subs still in service, but they weren't been made anymore. They relized one sub that had been cut apart at the waterline and used as a memorial in the town of Holbrook in NSW still had the part required attacked to the sub! So in the middle of the night they came down to the town with a salvage team and took the part they needed!

I don't think the locals were impressed!

Truly, that is something you don't see everyday....:hmm:

Sure looks like a Type VII U-boat to me. Monster too!

12-19-08, 05:54 PM

actually it cant be a vii because it is too small.

probably a iia, but looks nothing like it.

maybe someone did not know what to make and made it!
