We were told that this was one of the few classes of subs with twins. And yes Harvey they said it was extremely maneuverable compared to subs with a single!

I just found this and it is cool. Thanks for confirming for me that there are subs with twins. I had heard that but forgotten where. Yup, can spin that one on a dime. Harvey/SleepyC

these props were top secret until recently. When they used to come into port they would send down divers to cover them.

The strange shape to these props(screws)allowed it to turn without producing bubbles which were a tell tale to surface ships.

Sight glass above latch to check if tube was flooded. Pin mechanism below latch was a safety in case tube appeared clear but was flooded.

Control room was important but the most highly secured room was the radio room. You could be arrested for entering without permission. During tense situations the operator was locked in.

Every other link of the chain was encased in some type of plastic ball to silence it.

Submariners in the torpedo room had some type of pressure suit for deep water escape. When they reached the surface they would often fly 5 feet in the air.

Our guide told us that submariners always used the terminology "screw" as opposed to "propeller". If you used the word propeller they assumed you were talking about something on a airplane.

This sub also had 2 aft facing torpedo tubes.

Wife and 2 granddaughters - torpedo racks on each side.

Looking aft. Once through the hatch we were not allowed to take any more pictures.
From: Robert H. Wilkinson (Robert H. Wilkinson) Wed Aug 5 09:31:49 2015
Submariners were required to be able to run from one end of the sub to the other in under 30 seconds. That included through hatches like this!

Great photos! Enjoyed seeing them and reading your excellent comments. Thanks for the tour. It's the only way I'd ever want to be in one of them!
