SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG my new project
After meeting other people online who are enthusiasts of different submarine museums, it soon struck me that there was no central place on the internet for submarine museum folks. People are constantly struck by what is going on with another submarine museum, whether it is monetary needs, part needs, volunteer needs, or just basic information worth sharing.
I've decided to give it a go with making a new website and forum just for submarine museums in the USA. I just threw it together today, so it's still in infancy. This will hopefully compliment the Lockwood Internet Base's SaveOurSubmarines website effort. Maybe some of the USSVI 2008 Fall Convention folks can use the website in lieu of the sub museum push. I'd be honored! I want anyone and everyone who has a favorite submarine museum of choice to come look at the website and register and post on the forum. Come talk about what your sub needs! Come talk about what your sub is doing! See what other subs are doing! Pass this around everywhere, I'd like to see this new site bear fruit for ALL submarine museums. I know it will likely be slow in the beginning, but I think it has potential. SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG Forum Cheers! Lance

That is great Snakeeyez, I will be sure to let the park manager of the Batfish know about this.

9 months ago I got into submarines and I had no idea there were submarine museums. Then I found out they existed but thought they were all too far away. Then I found out I lived only 3 hours away from the USS Drum. I really feel there is a need for this website, even if the forum never takes off.

Great site
Wanted to point out a small error: USS Blueback was commissioned in 1959, not 69 [edit] wow, it was fixed the moment I posted Good job spotting it |
