Wassup wit Subs?

• Not the filled roll type sandwich.


• Not the unfortunate backwash caused by gulping from a bottle of drink to soon after having a mouth full of food.


• Not those annoying loud speakers people put in their cars to alert us to the fact they have annoying loud speakers in their cars.

I am in fact refering to the coolest Battleships game peice ever...the Submarine. I mean who doesn't like the dead calm inside a submarine when the ships above are 'Pinging' them, trying to locate the stealthy shadow that lurks beneath armed with ship destroying torpedos.

'Dive Dive Dive' - so many cool stuff to do with submarines.

I recently got to experience a tour on a submarine - namely the USS Pampanito located at Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco (click Here for the online tour. You can download the Audio tour and listen while viewing the photos)

USS Pampanito

And they picked up another 75 POW's floating in the ocean

Inside the hub of the Sub - hey there's N.Z

'Don't lie on the bunks!...oops

After paying $11 US I wandered onto the USS Pampanito and turned on the supplied MP3 Audio Tour. It turns out I was the only person exploring the Sub which was really cool. Former Sailors were narrating the tour and even though I was only one man aboard a big submarine I was getting a feeling how it must have been for 80 men to be aboard. And that was before they picked up another 75 POW's from a Japanese ship they had torpedoed.

I don't think I would have enjoyed the real thing, but I very much enjoyed the tour and of course - Submarine movies.
