[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

[trout]

LOL
Tang-you for participating!
I am punch happy today - I need to get more sleep!

[greenman407]

Yes Sir, She is indeedy! Trout, we were just wondering....What kinda punch??......................Just wondering.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

and it looks like she's been outfitted as a target. Or for tow.

No life rails, the external 'football' antenna (DF loop), no topside-watch, no personnel on deck.

Keep goin Dave , Keep goin. Heres another picture of her. Its a little grainy though.

[Von Hilde]

believe that pic is in San Diego after she transferred from Pearl. There were only 3 boats in her class that had that particular sail design, the rest had stepped bridges at the fwd part of the sail like the center boat

[greenman407]

I SPY a Russian boat in Chinese service. Who can tell us what it is???

[redboat219]

Type 033 ROMEO

[greenman407]

Romeo...Romeo....wherefore art thou.......Romeo

[greenman407]

I SPY something of merit. What is the circular frame just inside the Bridge opening? And then whats its purpose?

[zhuravlik]

That's the frame of the plexi cupola of a GUPPY II.
Strangely we see BQG-4 PUFFS transductor...
Infact this must be Blenny (SS-324) or Grouper (AGSS-214)

[greenman407]

Yes, and there were different types on different boats.

[greenman407]

I SPY what appears to be a chunk missing out of a sail. I wonder what would cause that. It appears to me that the sail is made of GRP or something, considering the way it fractured. What do you think?
