At random: "The Turkish skipper of ex-USS Tang, when asked about the difference between the German designed and built replacement boats for their retiring ex-US boats, is reported to have said, "American submarines are built for war, German submarines are built for export."

I knew there was a reason that boat # sounded so familiar...half way down are the "nudie photos"...but shark fishing off a sub...OH BOY!!!
I like what you did with "enhancements"...that's cool!

I agree with Patti the pictures and enhancements are great!

But Rick, in the pictures you can see a rope rigged just under the deck level. What was that used for?

That is a steel cable for towing. Engine break downs were common. The Russians still build that feature into their boats
