At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

I hadn't seen this site before... they make those nice laser-cut models and they have some really nice license plate frames.  Check it out.

They do very nice work.  My family got me the Balao version for Christmas four years ago.

I saw his models on the Alaska cruise but never met Norman. He had the partially done Lafayette on display so I left my name and email on his sign-up list. About a week ago I got an email that the boomers are now available so I ordered a James Monroe for my office wall. He contacted me and said it'd be a couple of weeks before it would be assembled and shipped.

I suggested to him last year that he might offer these as "kits" but never heard anything back.
