USS Pampanito 2007 Drydock pix
Posted by Division 6 on Friday, February 6, 2009 9:25 AM

For those interested in pix of a drydocked WWII US Sub here is a link to pictures from the 2007 docking and refurb of the USS Pampanito that is docked on SF.

Link 

She is a Balao Class but is still good reference for those building a Gato Class. 

Iron Bottom Sound makes a conversion kit for the Revell 1/72 but to me looks very crunchy.

Also there is the Fleet Type Boat Manual  Here

More on the boat  Here including more drydocking pictures (small pix)

Wow, what a great batch of photos. I spent many hours exploring this sub in San Francisco two years ago. I never really knew  it was as big as it shows in the dry~dock pics. Thanks for sharing the link's.
