The Big Tuna

So with today being my Friday off I proceeded north, along the coast to Kittery, Maine. Along the way I stopped in Portsmouth, NH for some lunch (Portsmouth Brewery Restaraunt, yum). But it was a historical sign that pulled me off the highway originally. After lunch I visited it.

Hull number 569. USS Albacore. An unexpected treasure. Yes, I went inside of her. The following pictures show her off a bit.

The forward berthing area (tight bunks)

Hatch to somewhere, I forgot to actually see where it went.

Chart room

Controls

Engine room (that thing running along the center is the propeller shaft housing.

A very fine rear if I say so myself.

View from starboard looking forward.

Quite a pretty little boat isn't it?

A quote borrowed because it is just that awesome.

"The pacifist helps give war its point, to make the exercise worthwhile, by allowing you to enslave him, to take his wife to serve yours, his daughters to warm your bed, and his sons as machine gun fodder, safe in the knowledge that he will not lift a hand to stop you, lest he risk compromising his "principles.""


Colonel Kratman and R. Cruze Jr.

Yes, I do agree. --> TEMD
