Navy Seal

So I was on the bridge of a destroyer when I spotted a midget submarine.
Seriously...
Well I was at the Buffalo Naval Park and Museum at the time. But their website never mentioned anything about this little jewel: I was on the bridge wing of the USS The Sullivans when I noticed it, boy was I surprised. It's a Cos.Mo.S. Sea Horse 1 SDV (who ever wrote the info for the display didn't know that I think, they just called it a one man swimmer vehicle). This apparently was a civilian craft purchased by the SEALs with their discretionary funds and converted it to military use. (Sorry for the quality of the photos, I had been crawling though the ships at the park for about five hours and I was really tired so the lighting looks a little off). |

On behalf of the "Little" subs, I object to the turm 'midget'.
I shall henceforth ignore or belittle you. BIGot. |

Cool find TLAM.
@Privateer, you should know that size doesn't matter. It's the use it gets put to that makes all the difference. |

I once heard that it isn't size or usage that matters....its presentation. Robin Williams said that IIRC....

Nice find, good pics. At first I thought it was the craft Germany made to raid Scapa Flow.
