Squadron USS Pampanito book

The maritime park has a pretty nice website for the Pampanito, including a virtual tour which is a nice walkaround, it might fill in some of the gaps in the book.

That's great stuff, need to buy it. I love that boat, was on her about two years ago as a guest for breakfast in the wardroom, in an effort to get me to donate to the restoration. i've meant to go back, but parking is expensive and the hours coinside with my work schedule. Maybe someday soon....

I used to have a link to pix of her last drydocking.

I toured her in 81 while they where still setting her up, here official open date is 82.

Tryed to go by last year to take some pix but parking rates have gone beyond insane, $6.40 for 20 minutes.

Used to be $6 for the day.

One of the guns on her was the first gun to shoot down a Japanese plane at Pearl Harbor.

It was on a diffirent sub at the time.
