USS Clamagore

[mrlazorz]

Hey, I know you guys don't always like subs but I went down to Patriot's Point (Charleston, SC) and took oodles of photos of the 3 ships they have there- An Essex class (Yorktown), an Allen M. Sumner class destroyer (Laffey) and this:

 

 

So I have a bunch of pictures, a lot are blurry and I apologise for that, but not enough so that you can still make some stuff out.

 

Forward Torpedo Room:

A hatchway (about 3 feet high opening)

 

Some controls:

These are a few alarms- according to my scoutmaster, the unlabeled yellow switch is the battle-stations alarm.  The green both works and sets off the diving alarm.

 

Silly mannequin, get out of the floor!

 

Me looking inconspicuous (Yes that is a yellow sport coat):

 

A hatch to the outside world. I believe this is where the above photo was taken out of:

 

A poster with what the GUPPY programs did:

One of four engines: Speedy Gonzales, Road Runner, Jubilee and Madeline

 

Levers!

 

Rear Torpedo Room (Forward has 6 tubes, rear has four)

 

Two or three of these minuscule toilets

 

A "tube for alka-seltzers, to scare the hell out of enemy ships"

 

The sub is under repair actually, it was moved to a completely floating position recently to help slow the salt damage

 

That deck is a mess.

 

And those are all of my pictures. Unfortunately the conning tower has been closed off for er... a long time so no photos of that.

Now pick one:

They look boss on you.

Great picture btw.

Sorry Wake, your picture didn't load. But thanks, usually it's that hat.

 

It's always the damn hat.

 

That thing has been north of the Arctic Circle, via bus.
