Ahoy Mates!

One of our mates over at Armorama (Bill Plunk, Managing Editor, Reviews) took a recent trip to Pearl, and brought back THREE fantastic photo walk-arounds for us at MSW, the first one here, a HUGE and most impressive reference gallery of the USS Bowfin (Balao class SS 287), including interior and exterior images!

Enjoy!

Very cool! Santa brought me a 1/72 Gato, so this will be of some help.

My pleasure guys, I'd been out to Pearl about 3 years ago and hadn't been able to tour the Bowfin at that time so made it a point this time around to include it. I hope the photos are useful! I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't had the chance to crawl around inside a WW2 sub, really makes you appreciate the tight quarters that the men lived and fought in.
