if you're like me, you wonder what it's like down
there for months with your team and your missiles.

  The Cobia is listed per your link. I spent my teens in Manitowoc....fished with four of the "old timers" who were involved in building this class of Boat. Pete, Swede, Red, Howie Meyer and my grandfather, Karl Wage all worked together for the West's.

      There is a saying: "Come and see me sometime...and we'll talk about important things...like the wind."

So roomy! I spent my latter teens in Manitowoc WI. The Cobia is docked at the Maritime Museum. Although she wasn't built there, many of the "class" were. Looks like I can stand upright in the French vessel.

Been in the German U-boat at the Chicago museum of Science and Industry a number of times. While small, the Lunar Lander is much more claustrophobic.

I would think being short and skinny would be a plus. It would be fun to go down in one for a day or 2 for sure.
