Very cool

Visited the Pampanito last year, a visit to Submarine Force Museum would be a dream.

How did you like the Pampanito? Did you go on the Jerimiah Obrien too? I wonder if they still have the subsim almanac I donated?

I wish, it was late and we were planning on visiting the rest of the pier so we left as soon as I hopped off the sub.

But I definitely loved the Pampanito, when we went in there was almost nobody inside, except for a half dozen tourists and I believe a former crewmember who was telling stories
