"Thats WW2 class!"

Yup. Nothing like four 1600 HP Diesel Jimmies running right next to your bed. And the fumes, well, they give your eyes a certain pinkness that some say was(ahem) charming.

I worked on one diesel.
The USS Bonefish, SS 582

The air just reeks of diesel.
It’s everywhere.
But the 637 class boats left you reeking of Amine.

It is what it is

One of my old shipmates was on SS 582 when the batterys took on seawater and blew..

I never knew until today that there was a picture. I think 4 men were lost.
