              Here is your suggested minimum daily requirment:


              The Cutlass

              The Requin. This boat was a museum ship docked in Tampa Florida. I went aboard her several times. It has since been sold and setup elsewhere.

              Irex

              In this drydock photo you can clearly see the huge sonar bulge below the bow. This bulge was installed on many Fleet snorkle boats as well as the Guppys. I put one on my 1/72 Revell Gato that I fashioned into a Fleet Snorkle along with a guppy type sail.

              Pomodon.

              Amberjack.

                For your viewing pleasure.



                With the clear water you can easily see the bow of the boat through the water. Neat!

                How many of us have ever seen whats under the skin of a sub, the reinforcing. Without it ,it would squash just like a empty beer can.

                more under the skin stuff.

                A little too much blow!







                How many people have ever had a sub surface right in front of you. Some people are just so blest!

                What a magnificant ,in your face shot!

                The bad guys have rockets too!

                          Get a load of those scoops. I would like to see a closer in view. Anybody got one?





                          colorized pictures are such a wonderful thing.

                          Look at the size of those rockets that the crane is picking up.
