My USS Pampanito visit (pics)

And the last post with a few more views!

So that wrapped up my rather damp day (which cost me a wicked cold - I totally lost my voice today...) - it was pretty great!

Just to prove that I was actually there, there's the requisite mugshot...

And then I signed the log book - I took the liberty of saying thanks on behalf of all of us at Subsim, but I'm sure you guys don't mind

And that's it! Thanks for looking.

If you liked these and want more similar sort of stuff though, check out my visit to the Soviet D-2 in St. Petersburg from a couple of years ago... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=124914
(unless you've already seen that, in which case I got nothing!)

And a quick addendum (with thanks to Frank) - I just got a couple of pictures of our veterans in question:

Again, an honor to be next to people like this

Awesome pics, CCIP - just out of curiosity, how much time did you spend in the people tank?

Also, didn't you mention something in an earlier post about a redhead? So... where's the redhead???
