Not sure if this should go here or in GENERAL Section but........

Im wondering if ther are any good internal photos of a Type II showing the command room, Captain's bunks, torpedo room....etc etc.

I have a good grasp on what a VII and IX look like on the indide, but am wondering aobut the cramped 'canoe' arrangment.

In particular Im wondring about how SH3 portrays the CAptains bunk. Int eh few blueprints I have found I dont see any room for a CAptains bunk to begin with!

The same goes for the sonar and radio shack.....no room for seperate compartments that I can see.

It seems like the entire crew beds down in the Torpedo room...Officers and crew included.

Any word on this?

Any musuem shipos out ther that people have been able to walk through?

Is the SH3 depiction just fictional?

Photos or even written descriptions would be great.
