Rudy at the rangefinder's position in the No. 3 turret.


The port side of the rangefinder compartment.


The breech mechanism for one of the 16 inch guns (I need to brighten this one up a bit.)


Saying Goodbye to Big Mamie.


Corridor inside the Hiddensee.


The bridge of the Hiddensee. No really, this is the bridge.


"Exterminate! Exterminate!"


Cutting-edge Soviet technology.


You can get some great shots of the other ships from the Hiddensee's deck.

Sounding indicator in the control room (came out like crap...)


Electrical control panel.


An overall view of the control room.


Radio room on the starboard side.


The "Christmas Tree."


Crew's Mess.


Ice cream man, stab me with a pacifier.


Rudy entering the forward engine room through the after engine room hatch.


After 37 years in the Navy, Rudy doesn't seem too fazed by the interior dimensions of this sub. My mother, on the other hand...would have had a panic attack long before I reached this point!


An assortment of gadgets, gizmos, and whatzits on the after port side of the forward engine room.

I had to wedge myself into a space behind the starboard diesel to get this shot. Still, I think it came out good.


Gauges in the after engine room.


After engine room, looking forward.


Main propulsion guages in maneuvering room.


The after head.


Three shots taken from Lionfish's deck.


With only about 30 minutes to go, I didn't have much time to explore the Kennedy.

[Subnuts]

Five shots taken in DD-850's engine room and No. 2 fire room.


The ASROC launcher.


The after half of the ship as seen from 02 Deck.


The bow of the ship, also from 02 Deck. I was tempted to step over the chain blocking the ladder to 03 Deck...but I guess I'm just not much of a rebel!


Looking down at the water from 02 Deck.


Kennedy's foremast.
