If your looking for a fine reference for the new R/M Gato sub kit, then plan on making a trip to Manitowoc, Wisconsin (Where many were built) to visit the Maritime Museum and tour the USS Cobia.
Another well preserved Gato sub is located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
The U.S.S. Cod is anchored on the shore of Lake Erie on the northside of downtown Cleveland
Anchored close by is the William G. Mather Great Lakes ore carrier steamship

People in Cleveland? I hear that all the time from my cousins who live there. Maybe that is why they spend so much time on their boat out in Lake Erie.
am old radio buddy lives there and we never do all the stuff planned. there just isn't time. and restuarnts! i doulf spend a week on the waterfront just looking at boats. cleveland rocks and floats.
For a Gato class sub in a warmer climate =] ... everyone should check out the U.S.S. Drum at:

Hi.
There is also the USS Torsk at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Also walk through tours, with group sleepover tours available. And you are right, I am 6'2", my son's 6'2" and my brother
6'9" tall, and we all fit easily. Tho remember in real life, EVERY square inch of free space would have been taken by weapons/supplies/food and people etc.Still impressive, and IMHO very advanced for it's era. Even compared to the deeper diving U boats.
Excuse me, the Torsk is a Tench class fleet submarine.
Sorry.
Drum is a pretty bad reference because of all the mods she got postwar.
