That narrows it down.

A bigger clue could be that it may still exist as a museum or something...since that picture looks like a modern picture (high quality).

That appears to be an overhead light next to the guages...not natural light from a porthole, which is what I first thought.

Can't make out the guages though...I'm going to guess that it is on a sub, don't know which one.

This is not a sub

Go to http://www.mapblast.com/(yz3tau551efkpe45ir03taii)/Home.aspx
type in San Jacinto State Park
On the NW side of the park is an inlet go to it then choose birds eye view.

Thanks. That is a cool view. My father served on the Texas 44-45. I made one brief visit to her when I was headed cross-country one time, but would love to go back for a longer visit.
