Did no one explain to them that the shutter doors need to be able to open to be of any use?

Where did they learn to refit a sub? A Soviet Shipyard?
Comrades to increase seaworthiness we are welding all the hatches watertight...

At this point in her life her bark is truly worse than her bite! All show and now go!

I kept trying to convince them to leave one aft tube operable, with enough air in the tanks for a water slug.

See, every summer, there's this "pirate ship" that cruises (ok, TROLLS!) the Inner Harbor and blares the soundtrack from Pirate of the Caribbean over and over and over again. I figured one good water slug, and they'd leave us alone.

Shame they have to weld the tubes like that, but I'd rather see them closed than rotting in the sorry state they are now. Anything to make her more watertight is a plus.

Removing the prop from the shaft. I need to find out were the prop is going. Did not know it was going somewhere:
