Vacation pictures-USS Torsk WWII era submarine
I am a huge WWII history nut and have read over 75 books on that war including around a dozen books on submarines so I was very interested in touring the Torsk.
The Torsk had over 10,000 dives, which is a record, and sank the last Japanese vessel in WWII. It is in Baltimore's Inner Harbor if you would like to see it.
With it's post WWII conning tower.

I would really like to go to Chicago as they have a WWII era German submarine, now that would be neat to tour it and compare.
