• a non-aviation question

    From David Lesher@3:633/10 to All on Sun May 31 18:34:55 2026
    When I was down there in the late 1990's, and having a great
    time, I took a museum tour through a retired Cold-War submarine
    of US manufacture berthed in Sydney harbor,

    I know it was of US manufacture as the adjacent person in line
    was a fellow EE and ex-USN submariner who'd served on a US boat
    of that type; he gave me a personal tour & related a harrowing
    story about rebuilding a vital M-G set while submerged.

    I was looking for the sub's name/family this week, and can't find
    a mention of either. Most queries are captured by the WWII Japanese
    sub attack.

    Back in the 1990s there was a submarine berthed at the Maritime Museum
    at Darling Harbour, but it was Russian not a US boat.
