We visited St. Marys while we waited for LT (jg) Jake Christianson to get off duty, so here are some interesting pictures for all you sewer-pipe sailors and enthusiasts.
Nuclear Submarines are BIG!!!

USS Georgia's shadow box display. :coolio

USS Harder, SS-257 Captain Sam Dealey, and his IJN Destroyer-killing crew. Lost 24 August 1944. On eternal Patrol.

Rising sun flags are for sunken IJN Warships. White/red dot flags signify sunken cargo vessels.
The battle flags are an unofficial tally kept by the crew of the Boats. Walt Disney's crew created many of the characters you see on WWII flags & patches.

Given the Submarine-ness of this Thread, I thought I'd take a chance and post this. If anyone finds it offensive, please remove this post.

Newly declassified documents reveal, after much deliberation and analysis, vital systems for the operation of nuclear-powered Fast Attack Submarines.

But remember, many things here do not react well to bullets.
