Lance,

Being one of the facilitator personality types, I fully understand the desire to be 100% accurate 100% of the time.  It ain't happeni'.  Your best chance is to set a deadline and go with the information that you have at that deadline.  Let God sort the rest out.   Otherwise you will bog yourself down with details and never get the project done.   

Just a suggestion.....

Rick

Yeah, I understand.  I've written many folks with the San Diego Maritime Museum in the attempts to get some information on what's going on.  I haven't gotten a response.  I'm nearly positive the Dolphin will be there and open to the public pretty soon.  What I'm uncertain of, however, is the fate of their Russian sub.  If they want to get rid of it, I'm sure that the other Russian sub folks in Long Beach, CA, would love to have a spare.  :)

I hope they don't scrap the Russian boat. I want to take a trip and go see them. I've got a soft spot for Russian stuff.  :smitten:

Rick....there is enough room to put the Russian sub next to the Batfish.  Just think....not one, but two subs. ::)

Did you know the K-77 Juliett 484 Russian sub was used in the movie K-19: The Widowmaker?
