Jack Sawyer Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 And if this really IS to scale, well I'm blown away. I've never been within 100 miles of a sub in real life, would LOVE to see a real one. If they're this large compared to a 737 then I'm bumfuzzled!

Stillwater Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good landing, Jack. As always. On 8/20/2018 at 3:49 AM, Jack Sawyer said: And if this really IS to scale, well I'm blown away.

Haven´t you had the chance to enter some older museum subs, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_Wilhelm_Bauer in Bremerhaven or the Kursura in Vizak/India?

In can remember seeing one, a big one when on the ferry from Dover to Ostend in the late 60s but no idea what it was. This is the closest I have been to a submarine. We stopped on our way to Canberra a few years ago and my grandsons eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Otway_(S_59) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jack, Very cool - even if it is a boomer - big black and never come back... There ain’t no slack in a Fast Attack... Spent years in San Diego riding Fast Attacks out of Point Loma - my old stomping grounds - know them well... Those Ohio’s were ghost ships - seriously - even when we had a scheduled meet - they vanished from sonar within a few boat lengths as we watched - poof - like magic - they were gone - this was when the Los Angeles Class was king - before Seawolf and Virginia... And who chose to start naming fast boats after states - oh brother - we have a legacy of boats with famous names with legendary status like Wanhoo, Tang, Flasher, Skpjack, Gato, Thresher, etc - these are proper submarine names...Fish don’t vote I guess... Thanks for the reminder... Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
