The boat is successfully deployed to the patrol area.
We only got caught in the hallway between classes.......it almost got ugly. 
Getting the boat stands under the doorways to the pods got interesting. It was a very tight fit. The official measurement of the boat is 30'2". It seems to have grown a bit.   It is going to be a very tight fit in the space.

Took this pic from the WWI colorized pic thread in GD.
The German submarine U-155 on display in St. Katherine docks, London, England, December 1918. The SM U-155 (formerly merchant submarine “Deutschland”) was a Type U-151 U-Kreuzer of the Kaiserliche Marine during World War I. Built at Flensburger Schiffbau, she was launched on 28 March 1916 as merchant submarine “Deutschland” Deutschland was a blockade-breaking German merchant submarine used during World War I. It was developed with private funds and operated by the North German Lloyd Line. She was one of the first of seven U-151 class U-boats built and one of only two used as unarmed cargo submarines.(Colorized by Edward Tambunan) https://www.faceb |

"Okay, who's the joker that's been using the board stretcher on the ribs of the sub, after hours?!" Good job, OP. Now, you *could* fix this, by having it cracked in 1/2 by a mine... Nah, too much hard work, already. And the torpedo would just hit the floor. As you were!

Update 2/10
Prior to our sailing out of port and to our patrol area..... U307 being painted on the side of the conning tower. After explaining that it wasn't proper for a wartime uboat, the crew still elected to have it on the conning tower in the dark gray over the lighter gray. It looks pretty good, and many, many people have said they liked it. The online news feed guy was here and thought it was pretty neat. 
They also liked the idea of the name on there, so....... 
After making the trip down to the patrol area........without any pictures..... It will remain here for a week or so, then we will begin the task of raising it up and hanging it, section by section.
Luckily with the corner to corner, and up to down, we should fit......I hope. The students already volunteered to use a saws-all to cut out any wall section that is in the way.
Some still hate the bubbles, but most think they look pretty awesome. Some just hate being wrong........

The top will be visible, as it will be slanted down. Not as visible as it is now, but hopefully enough people will be able to appreciate the details up there, and on the conning tower. |

I still can't believe how huge that thing is! My only issue with the bubbles is, shouldn't they kinda be swept backwards? Like the sub is moving forward through the water? Unless they were stationary when they fired their torps....

Unless they were stationary when they fired their torps.... If you look closely, I had them make some of the streams of bubbles slant back, since it will be diving. The bubbles hopefully will look like they are going slightly backwards and up. We will see. We could always add more. We've got plenty.
