Thanks for posting the photos McBeck, they're terriffic! Wow, everything looks so old. Those guys had balls man!
 By the way, in the last couple of shots there are two depth charge shaped things, under the back of the conning tower. What were they for? |

Great pictures,
I was there last August! From your pictures of the Pampanito's deck gun, seems that you were there before me. See this post http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=97474 |

Nice pics, McBeck!
I have been out there a number of times (used to live by the Bay Area). Was up there about 4 months ago to take my wife on the tour. She was really excited about actually getting the opportunity to go on the sub. It's a nice ship. You really get some nice insight regarding the confines the crew had to deal with while on patrol.

I am shocked that such tools of imperial aggression are allowed to sully San Franscisco bay!
