Daily submarine picture

It's predecessor the No.71 was capable of doing 21knots submerged.


Looks a lot like a modern nuke boat but this was late '30s

Ive got a whole bunch of these retouched, colorized Japanese sub pictures. I should post them in the Japanese sub thread.

Good view of the top of the sail of the USS Bremerton

Not a view that you normally see. The only view and entrance is on the starboard side. At least at the Intrepid museum, that is.

Here we have a closeup to the closeup. Good thing its high resolution.

ever wonder about the guys that sewed up that prop cover? They must have a big assed sewing table, and a lot of guys to muscle the material around the shop. Do you suppose they must have big time secret clearances because of all the mesurements they have acess to, as well as the configuration of the Kurtz fairing itself. Just a thought

I note the difference in grey color of the hull and the black upper part of the rudder. Do you have the rest of the picture that shows the upper hull and sail?

The raised access plate foundations suggest that the anechoic material has not been applied yet. The 'purple' is that same shade we see when you mix anti-foul red with black and has been seen between center line and waterline on some post 80's boats.

I would kill to get a peek at the rotor and stator(s).

Is it me, or did the sail-loft get that after sheet so tight it looks like there's a pressure differential between inside PJ shroud and the rest of the world?

A stiff breeze blowing down the dry-dock? I agree, it looks tight as a drum.

[greenman407]

Ive got to look for it. Its been in my stuff for a while.

[greenman407]

That didnt take too long.

I would guess the cone part is secured first. With sheets, (bungee cord} pulled taught from the front, on the inside of the cover and then secured to the boat. Then, when the front section ils lashed on, it pulls the rest of the cover forward, leaving the cone part snug to the hub. I wonder if it is tight as a drum and would boom if ya smacked it

What's going on here?
