    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

    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 ?
