Submarine Pictures from Sub Run

[Guest]

Here are a few snap from the Sub Run. Water condition wasn't too great but it was very easy to spot the Trenchant! My Woodrow Wilson SSBN was also easier to spot from the bank when under and I got do laps with the scope underwater. Lots of nice boats turned up. Enjoy...

Just like a ship, you need to ballast it so that most of the weight is in the keel. Ships will topple over too if the superstructure is too heavy.

I think its a DeBoer Hull, they still sell them. I've seen them (copies??) turn up on a regular basis on eBay.
