Would that be when the U-505 got "sunk" underground at the renovated Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL?

Boy! Do you ever have a vivid imagination. I could have used you on our design team when we reactivated the Battleships in the 80's.

No. I mean in deep water.

And keep reading between the lines.

Would that be the "yellow" submarine? You know how Chicago hates those dam hippie types.

Nope. This was a real submarine. And how come you guys are referring to the CITY of Chicago?

To be honest with you ---- naw. Forget it. It's more fun this way.

I thought I might have had an idea until you said 'deep water'...perhaps a Ko-hyoteki class midget.

But now I don't have a clue.

About 250 feet deep. Among the Sturgeons.

Oh THAT wsa huge help!

I know the USS Chicago shot at some Japanese midget subs in Sydney Harbor in WW II

Could you be alluding to the USS Chicago (CA-14) serving as sub force flagship in WW I?

Nope! It was sunk in 1921 after being turned over to the 9th Naval District.

That should zero you folks right in on it.

That's the one I was referring to when I mentioned the Sydney incident.

Remember, I am asking about a GERMAN U-boat.

Well, might as well give the answer. It was the UC-97, a WW I German Submarine that actually was never commissioned. It was taken as a war prize and made a grand tour of the East Coast, up the St. Lawrence River and into the Great Lakes.

It got as far South as Chicago. Yes, the CITY of Chicago where she was on exhibit for about 2 years. Then it was turned over to the 9th Naval District who took it out into Lake Michigan and used it for target practice by the USS Wilmette.

The wreckage was found in 1992 about 20 miles east of Highland Park, Illinois and there are plans to raise it, restore it and put it alongside the U-505. The organization that found the ship, Eastland Memorial Society A&T Recovery, Home page, Navy Aircraft as Artifacts, have already recovered over 30 WW II aircraft that went down in "Michigano" (Algonquin for "Great Lake"). The UC-97 is quite a bit bigger though and does have a number of shell holes to patch up.

New one...

What's a Navaga class better known as?

Albany Rifles · 04-30-2008, 10:41 AM

Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: Soviet & Russian Navy - Ballistic Missile Submarines

A YANKEE Class boomer

NAVAGAs were the 24 pig boats built at Severodvinsk. I think the rest were called NALIMs and were built for the Pacifgic Fleet in the East.

Silent Hunter · 04-30-2008, 11:29 AM

Correct.

Albany Rifles · 04-30-2008, 13:23 PM

Okay, its cheating but I do like the Haze Gray website.

MUCH better than Google!

What was the Chesapeake Raider?
