Requests for pics of the USS COD

Hey guys,
Might be going to the USS Cod in Cleveland tomorrow 05 Jun. If so, are there any requests for specific pictures of the boat?
It totally may not happen but any modders that need a reference pic, I may be able to help out.

Will check until 2300EST.

Some detail shots of the conning tower torpedo firing panel would be most appreciated. Other instruments/ indicators are welcomed too!

Haha, I knew it.. excellent.. can't wait..

Well, weather not looking so good tomorrow. I'd like to look at the Cod but not too sure about fencing with all this frontal weather to do it. I have a low thunderstorm tolerence...unless I'm being well paid!

Post any requests anyway. If I don't go tomorrow, it's on my list for the future.

P.S. OG I will do what I can.

Unfortunately, the Cod does not allow access to the conning tower. You're allowed to climb up the ladder about half way, which lets your head up there to look around. Makes it difficult to see any of the panels, especially being at floor level.

Well I wont be there... was there Saturday.

Anyway, the conning tower is off limits for the tourist...
Reason is we want to preserve our TDC (Mk4) which is probably the last Mk4 in the world that actually runs.
Pampanito has a Mk3 that also runs fine.

So, here some details...

Rangeindicator for SJ&STradar

PPI for SJ&ST

Firecontrol panel Conning tower

Firecontrol panel FWD Torp room

Stadimeter no2 periscope

Position Keeper Mk4 TDC (still working within the specs from WW2)

Need more?

groetjes,

I was there last summer during the air show, the Cod is an amazing boat not to mention some of the people that work there as well, Gino, did we meet??

Anyhow here is what I walked away with:

Gino, in that picture above, are there any circular range rings or range rumbers on that display?
