Never Heard Of This Sub

Like ALBACORE this boat was a test bed. Principally to verify deep submergence structures and systems. Diesel-electric.

3000 ft. Is pretty good for a boat that big.

... and that's test-depth. Multiply that by 1.5 and you get close to the design-depth. My gonads aren't big enough to ride that boat!

Went aboard her in San Diego about 10 years ago. Very well presented as a Museum Boat!

Fxmodels 1/72 AGSS-555 Dolphin. Not sure if it's still available. Worth giving them a call.

About 28" long.

According to FXmodels it's made of GRP with resin appendages and is RC-able and is capable of accepting one of David's 2.5" SD.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this boat. I thought I knew them all. 555 does not ring a bell.

A sailor onboard saved the boat after a fire. He won the Navy Marine Corps medal.

Careful there. Edward Wiswesser drawings are always suspect. Some of his work is OK. Some of it is horse****.

USS Greyback is a museum ship in NYC. Maybe you could get good plans from the USS Intrepid Museum, of which she is part.
