Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the link.

I first learned of the USS Alligator from Sea Classics magazine issue of April 2007 in an article they wrote. Most interesting and it contained several drawings of the boat and it's details.

Heres' hoping the ONR's VP 679 Afloat Lab finds the remains of a forgotten bit of Naval History.

Hi Bruce and Jay

There's one Alligator here at kitmaker...
It's Bob Santos (SgtBob) own 1/32 scratchbuilt version of the paddled sub (but with no paddles!)


You can see a few more photos in his gallery

I have the old Lone Star Models 1/72 scale version of the sub, but with paddles
