As Denise comes below she has yet to see the passage that will have to be taken to complete the tour. This is facing aft in the forward torpedo room. She did very well and next time we will try running to battle stations.
Panorama views are a tad difficult inside a submarine so I thought I would settle for "movie" angles. If you are a fan of WWII submarine movies the "station" pictured below will look familiar.
