Plans at NARA

[feet wet]

Recently, while researching plans for the build of a "target", I browsed the listing of plans available at NARA, here:

https://catalog.archives.gov/search?q=ships%20drawings&rows=20&f.materialsType=drawings&f.locationIds=29&f.dateRangeFacet=%221940%20-%201949%22&offset=60

What I found was that there are numerous plans available for those looking for "glow in the dark" bubblehead boats. It appears that the Booklet of General Plans are available up to, but not including the LA's and Ohio's. It appears that almost all earlier classes and one offs are represented and available to be copied. of course there are also lots of plans of earlier non glow in the dark boats as well.

If you look at any of the nuclear powered boat Booklet of General Plans, you will see the following:

Access Restriction(s):Restricted - Fully
Specific Access Restriction: FOIA (b)(1) National Security, Confidential

The booklets are stored by the US government at NARA but are restricted access, and not available to the general public.
