David, your progress looks great! Am watching from my hotel room.
I believe the deck planking would have been removed from the hull prior to going on patrol, but it works well to disguise your holes.
Don't let the guys needle you about the lack of asymmetrical flood holes in the bow. That may not have applied to ALL boats of this type.
I was on board the Pampanito SS-383 Balao fleet boat, here in San Francisco, today. I took several photos of her and will post them when I return home.
Looking forward to seeing a video of the XXIII!
