USS Drum tour

Chad · 06-05-09, 08:10 PM

(56k Warning!)

Driving south for our yearly Florida trip, my brother and I stopped in and toured the SS-228 Drum and USS Alabama located in Mobile, Alabama. Last October at the Subsim meet, I visited the USS Texas and the Cavalla, but we were unable to go inside the Cavalla so I spent my time wisely and for a very long time (3 hours inside the Drum alone) touching everything, looking at things, and taking a ton of pictures!

Oh, and notice I'm the one sporting the SUBSIM cap, available at the SUBSIM store!

Here are just a few of the photoes, involving action sequences from the interior of the Drum!

Great Hi-Res pix. Thank you very much for sharing.

I noticed you disregarded the no climbing sign to bring us acouple of photots. Great!!!

Thanx again!

Nice pics... realy big ones too.

Cool, the pics are in IMAX format. It's like I'm really there.:rotfl:

Seriously though, great pics. Thanks for sharing them.

Fixed the size, Hi-Res still available, but who wants a look at our ugly mugs..

Yes, I did a boo-boo, but after working like 6 hours on the Cavalla and not even getting to go onboard, I figured I deserved a little bit of freedom

Uploading a video up to YouTube!

Supreme acting at its best

UnderseaLcpl · 06-05-09, 08:33 PM

Oh, that should be good! Maybe you can get it added to the subsim channel, as well
