aww, heck, no offense was taken. I have to deal with a lot of out-of-state contacts at work; I usually whoop out the mock indignity when they fail to give us (NLR) our props. Most folks think we're a suburb of the capital.

But hey, we've got our own submarine! And soon, our own tugboat. It won't be long until we're ready to launch a surprise attack on Maumelle just up the river.

On a related note: a year ago, when the mayor cooked up this submarine scheme, I told my oldest son (16 years) that he was also buying an aircraft carrier. He bought it, right up to the part where I was explaining that they would have to dismantle all of the highway bridges on the river to allow it to be towed up to NLR.

I've read this book several times, in French (which happens to be my mother language). In my paper books, it's written "in mobile". (and here too: http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au.../chapter8.html). A great book by the way!

By the way, this is latin, and "in mobili" doesn't mean anything in this language. "mobile" is the ablative case of "mobilis" and is required after the "in" preposition. (another similar latin locution is "in fine")

Therefore, I maintain that "in mobile" is the correct version. And someone has to tell the guys of the free library to correct the mispelling.

Oh and I forgot about the sub in Paris. Not a WWII sub, but built in the 50s.

About three months ago - U995, at Laboe on Kieler Fjord...get a chance best way to visit is by taking the ferry was only 3,3 Euros at the time from the Bahnhof...this way you can draw in the image of a Uboat Kpt. as he heads to the Baltic....

Being in Cleveland, Ohio I have visited the USS Cod. It is near the rock-and-roll hall of fame on Erie Street. It is a pretty neat ship. Gato Class 312 feet long. Served 7 war patrols. If you have never been there than you can enjoy a virtual tour here http://www.usscod.org/spin.html There are also some cool pics of them loading her with cutaway mark 14 torpedos back in 1998 for the display. http://www.usscod.org/torpload.html

If anyone is in Arkansas, they are building a Naval museum around the USS Razorback, a WW2 American sub. I dont know much about it, but things sure have changed.

[Sharkstooth]

Yes! I forgot what it's called (the last time I went was maybe 5 years ago) if anyone knows, it's the one in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the one with the tigershark on the front.

@1916....... you mean this one?

Years ago, when visiting the Wasa museum in Stockholm, there was also a Russian WWII sub on display outside. I forget the type, sorry, but even when there was only about 10-20 of us mates inside it felt cramped enough. We never complained about bunk space again
