It turns out it was a museum...with access to the submarine. Whipping out my student I.D in record time, I quickly bought a ticket from the lady at the counter and prepared to be amazed. I'm a huge fan of the movie "Das Boot", so seeing a U-Boat in
I will not be ashamed, I had visions of the movie plying through my head the whole time. I may have even whispered ACHTUNG a few times.
Das Boot.
Also Das Boot.
The ship itself was amazing. I had no idea how cramped they are. I'm pretty convinced that a tour on one would leave me with a disfigured spine.
"Okay, not too bad. Kind of annoying"
This is the second nicest galley on the ship. It's meant for noncoms. Seriously.
I geeked out so hard here.
........Ping..........Ping........
Torpedo room. Nice and comfy. Pretty sure there were a few beds in here.
All in all, I'd give it a ten out of ten. I can imagine it would have sucked if you weren't at all interested. It is so far the only tour I have ever been on that required me to lift my body weight and crawl in order to get into the different rooms.
