At random: A typical modern submarine may require as many as 2,000 working drawings for the more than 7,000,000 items used in its construction. Blueprints from these drawings if placed end to end would make a strip 250 miles long.

Subject: repost of an old pic

I scanned and posted this pic a number of years ago but just rescanned it for a friend and thought some who never saw it might like a peek.

This was taken through the port forward porthole in the bridge access trunk of the USS S-42 looking at the 4" deck gun. The depth is most likely periscope depth or close to it. Time frame is the 1930's.
