I know that data plates are great resources for some things, but things like the main motors, generators, diesel engines, air compressors and conditioners, pumps and other heavy machinery are hard to find. I am also several hundred miles round trip from USS Silversides in Manitowoc Wisconsin. It is difficult to make the trip for several reasons, so any help that any of you can give will be appreciated. Sincerely, SFD.
PS the Radio weighed 800 pounds? WOW, I knew they were heavy, but not that bad! THNX! Both of you.

I am a newbie here. Did 13 years in the Army Security Agency/Special Services ending in Avionics after they disbanded the ASA. Used that to jump to the "Civilian Contractor" side of the house with DoD/StDept and various aerospace concerns. Boeing, Micky-D, Locheed, Northrup, Goodyear Aerospace, Etc. Became a fan after "Borrowing" SSN-700, IIRC, as this was a long time ago.

My question is does any one know or have access to blue prints of Fleet and Guppy boats and their weights and breakdowns?

Things like what are the various dimensions and weights of components like the motors, switch boards, pumps?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Sincerely, Stewart. neoconshooter@live.com
