AU Tiger_MatrixForum -> USS Cobia (SS-245) (6/26/2008 1:33:25 AM)
I am in Manitowoc, WI on business and was surprised to find the USS Cobia as part of a museum exhibit. Needless to say I played hooky from work this afternoon and took a little tour. I took a bunch of pictures and will post them as I find time. Here is my first view of the sub: [image]local://upfiles/22511/88A0DF937B6E4DCBA98750488E948A76.jpg[/image]

They wouldn't let us up into the Conning Tower so this is the best I could do. I held the camera up as high as I could and snapped a pic. I tried to hang back from the group so I could climb up and get a shot of the TDC, but the tour guide was wise to me I think.
