We got her through the top hatch with a lot of grease, that aft hatch is the same size. I just wonder if we go on patrol if the nose will stick up out of the water...

Lead ballast is cheaper.
I hear the Germans tried her on a crash dive in a type VII and they're still trying to get the bow out of the mud.
