Being issued historical subs by name

This is exactly the reason I rather dislike using Actual historical ship names (particularly of ships lost during the conflict.).

Me too. But every name I come up with, there strangely enough was a WW2 sub by that name. Have to do some thinkin on this one!

Hope I can get the USS Silversides SS-236, I have visted that sub many times, the latest being last summer, it's very impressive i'm always amazed every time I go see it. I'v even managed to take a "sneak peak" in the conning tower. It sure does have a lot of history behind it too. Anyway here is a like to a website with some nice Pics and a little info on the Silversides http://www.glnmm.org/

The only Submarine I've ever been on is the Cobia in Manatowoc, Wisconsin; way back in 1993-4
