Submarine Pictures from Sub Run

[Mankster]

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...

now this may seem a very stupid question but i no nothing about subs!!!

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.

Mankster,

Superb pictures of some superb models. It looks like it must have been a really enjoyable day out.

Thanks for taking the pictures and thanks for sharing them with us.

shame i could not make it, i had planned to go aswell as its only 30 mins for me to get there, some of my club i think were there, sadly my sub stayed dry this weekend as we were away at a function this weekend.....

looks like i missed out on a fine weekend event....

Brilliant pics. Wish my subs were as well behaved as yours! Pity you're so far away from us - I would like to have seen that. Maybe we'll just have to organise a sub day in Edinburgh - when the pond work is finished.
