I wish I could have been there. Nice to see she is getting the repairs she needs!

Seeing a WWII sub underway like that, even for a short time, is really a touching sight. It's like a little piece of history coming alive! Great ships both of them, of course.

So where were you? That looks really fun to be on the sub while its sailing.

But was she proceeding under her own steam?

That last photo shows her missing at least one of her screws

From the earlier pics, looks like the tug was moving her.

Thanks for sharing these pics.

No, keep the tower, we have examples of pure WWII fleet boat configs, we need to preserve the GUPPY configs like Torsk and Cavalla, too.

Tug boat pulled. The prop is in Philadelpia at a submarine memorial.
