This immaculately detailed submarine is 18
feet long! The Webmaster sincerely regrets that Don did not use yellow Meccano or that the Beatles can't rewrite their song! |
Don's submarine was not modelled on any particular class. It has two snorkel tubes, 2 inch in the stern and 6 inch in the bow. If you wish to know more about WWII submarines, follow this link to USS Pampanito (SS-383) which has many further links.
