I went to the Science and Technology Muesem in Munich Germany. One exhibit was of a U-boat which was cut open from stem to stern. It was very interesting.

A decade later I was able to board and take a tour through a US WW2 submarine at Mobile Bay. USS Drum. It was mighty small.

I've been aboard both the U-505 in Chicago and the USS Drum in two places, the Navy Yard in Washington DC and the Battleship Alabama Memorial Park in Mobile, and all I can say is "No way!" The very idea of being underwater in a tiny tube with no windows makes my blood run cold.

That said, the Drum is pretty small but the U-505 is even smaller; I'm 6'2" and the only place I could stand up straight in the U-boat was next to the periscope.
