Great memory! I was on the USS Sea Leopard (SS-483) from the 1960s areas. The layout was still quite similar. Your pictures are very nice timeing.

We were lucky enough to have a personal tour and got to the CT when I told the guide I was ex P & O class submariner (UK). It was a big boat inside and even has a mess!
