Tour of the US Submarine Torsk

[SJSVOB@aol.com]

I have recently moved to Baltimore and today I took a tour of the US 
Submarine Torsk located in the inner harbour.  The Torsk is a Tench class 
submarine built in 1944 which patrolled the Pacific during WWII.  It 
torpedoed the last Japanese warships sunk during the war.  It holds the 
record of the most dives of any sub, having dived 11,884 times.  She seemed 
big to me, I've toured the captured German submarine, the U-505, at Chicago's 
Museum of Science and Industry several times.  The Torsk has a 4 man 
emergency escape in the forward torpedo room.  The tour wasn't that great.  I 
was the only one on board except a guy on the deck who took my ticket.
