    That is one of the coolest explores I have seen, rooms and rooms of original equipment, normally finding just a dial or light is amazing enough, but to have so much in such a small space is mind blowing.

      Ahh yes, RIP uss thresher, I just watched on another channel about her and those brave men who sent out 37 pings, did they ever recover her or is she to far down? I can imagine the upset if the ship I worked on had gone down, my deepest sympathy x

    When all those dials glowed with lights off. That is radiation like the old watches they use to use some kind of radioactive element.
    Man alive there is so many dials and switches and hand wheels to turn. Who ever the crew was really had to learn that sub inside out...

    I rode US boomers in the 1970s. This is a strange boat. The US boats of the 1960s did not have wood compartment bulkheads.
    The place with the table looks like an officer's Mess.
    There are things worst than being stuck on the bottom. It's going down and not finding the bottom.

    This thing is huge compared to WWI or even WWII fleet subs....I can just see tourists on Maui, who've signed up for a trip on Atlantis submarines, motoring out to the platform, expecting a cute, non threatening commercial submarine, when this monster slowly rises from the depths... The wife turns to hubby : " Harold, did you read the fine print on the release forms you signed " ?
    I gather this is a diesel / electric sub. Still have the engines / motors aboard ?
