I kept adding in details during the tour, and I knew I was probably irritating the tour guide. No Ski, I saw it in the Science & Industry Museum, last time I think I was there was 1997... As to the Cobia, next time I go, I am going to ask the staff if I can pay a double admission rate or something, to get a longer, more detailed, more personalized tour. They already have a great iron-ore boat museum ship, and a small Coast Guard ice breaker too.

I suspect if you volunteered, they might allow you to do that also.I think the Navy Reserve's help cannot be underestimated too.
The guide also was really good too, about letting me linger and be the last one always, so I could take so many pics.
I was doing the same thing when I visited the Cobia. I sure love it when it does.Wow man, that's so awesome! It was sobering to see there, on display, the plaques honoring all the subs that never returned; there were some Manitowoc ones which did not. FILM PRODUCTION. WHEW!There are some great museums here in the USA, I love to visit them, take a lot of pics, and buy a bunch of souvenirs to support them, as they are expensive no doubt!Minnesota, Duluth, Minnesota to be exact, was trying to get the decommisioned cruiser the USS Des Moines brought there as a tourist attraction. The reason for this was that they were launched into a river....I did not have time hit the actual Maritime Museum part of the place, there is actually a large museum building there too, devoted somewhat to subs built in Manitowoc during the war, but then also to Wisconsin's maritime history. I suspect the claustrophobia part of it is maybe what got your grandfather!I'm not much of seadog, the only ships of any size I have been on have always been tied up at piers, right where I like them when I am on them Great pics, and interesting story! It would be fired and the idea was that it would home in on the sound of the target ship's propellers.You need to be a member in order to leave a commentSign up for a new account in our community. Will you get a card from your contact?I received an 8 x 10 certificate and a couple fact sheets in the mail just yesterday.

From what my mom says, he pretty much freaked out and never went on another trip, hehehe.....Aft / rear torpedo room... this was where the tour ended.Another shot. … (I worked them too). I think they are out of a unit in Green Bay. February 2020 Cobia Update . 40M and 20M operationsSunday morning I made single-sideband radio contact with a WW2 submarine.
I was careful not to ask too much though.
A top tier Smithsonian affiliated maritime museum. Man, I would have loved to have heard those engines running... maybe this year I can try and be there for that. I have a bunch more I didn't post, and would have taken even more had my batteries not been old and poorly charged! I have a bunch more I didn't post, and would have taken even more had my batteries not been old and poorly charged! Cool!Here is the lowdown on the Cobia from the NB9QV qrz.com page: USS Silversides (SS/AGSS-236) is a Gato-class submarine, the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the silversides. I actually have also given thought to volunteering a weekend or two a year and just stay there.Coolest thing is that they have overnight programs on the Cobia one or two weekends of the year. The “USS COBIA” is open for tour’s year round at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc,Wisconsin. Flagship exhibit is the USS Cobia, the most fully and accurately restored World War II submarine in the world. It looks like it is getting the attention it's due.As far as sleepovers, I wish they would allow adults to go without having to have children.
I need to contact them and ask them for some more specifics on some of the things they need, so that I can watch for things in my travels, ask friends who also collect military things, etc. Also they had cut an entrance and and exit walkway in the sides of the sub and, I think the visit was over in ten minutes.Once again many thanks very enjoyable tour seen through your photographs.I agree on the condition of her, and I have to hand it to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum staff and all their volunteers. I have about 40 or 50 more, but I figured I better not ov erload the Forum servers too much, I posted a lot as it is!
It was interesting too, to say the least, and I enjoyed the tour. There is a certain procedure one needed to follow when flushing some of these heads, and if not done correctly whatever you desposited in the head was going to come flying back up at you, and in a pressurized fashion too... You did! Is she sea worthy?Glad to post them, and glad you like them.
