If it's a 3D object? It could be moved.
Any pictures to clarify placement?

Likely is a 3d object and I was going to post photos but as can see was beat to it. In every Gato/Balo have been on, and every photo have seen, the ladder is positioned as shown in photos. The rungs you climb face out towards the diving officer in center of control room, opposite the dive planes station.

You might want to tilt it some based on this picture.

your mock-up looks pretty good to me.

not sure which boat the wikipedia photo represents, but the ladder i climbed on Monday was pretty GD vertical.

Looks great. I assume would be the same for TMO (which uses vickers interiors) ? I'm not sure about the slant, The ladders i've climbed into Gato and Balao towers were not slanted.

Jeff, which file(s) do I need to open up via S3D

That slanted Scară picture was taken in the USS Muskallunge.

Interesting. Perhaps varied in a few boats? Muskallunge was kind of a later Gato, not commissioned until September 1943, constructed at Electric Boat. Late stage design modifications perhaps? Drum was the first, actually completed commissioned before the Gato, straight vertical ladder in Drum.

By the way?
Scară is Romanian for ladder.

Adjusting that as I posted above does not effect any other object.
BUT! Since the AO mapping is based on the original placement?
You may see odd shadows.

I thought with a name like that, it would have been a Manitowoc boat, but it's not: DANSF USS Muskallunge
