Well done sir.
You win a free email to Katrien, with the possibility of a face to face meeting and signed team shirt.

Right click on the picture and do a picture search. Cheating basically.

Can we have some from the English channel?

These subs were actually aircraft carriers. Bizarre to imagine that an underwater craft could contain, in a water-tight hold, aircraft, which could be "launched" when the sub surfaced.

Haha...that would have been easier than typing "sub wrecks in the Pacific" into Google and trawling through as I did!!

I haven't got a right click on iPad, but just went back and found that if you hold your finger down on the picture, the linked page comes up

Took 30 years or so until a sub was built that was bigger than these masterpieces.
I've just bought a clock from I 400 from the family of a Yankee sailor who nicked it before it was scuttled.

Kid brother just left the service after 25 years, ending on HMS Astute. Been privileged to a tour his very first boat in the day, a diesel Otus(?)many moons ago, very claustaphobic I remember. Then three years ago got a tour of a bomber HMS Vanguard, again very very claustaphobic despite its relative size. It was out of the water in the ship lift at Faslane. Blows your mind looking up at a seven story submarine weighing 6000 tonnes ish I think.

The museum at Gosport has been re vamped and is highly recommended.
