Submarine in Wisconsin

Cobia, on display at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc.

The local shipbuilders constructed 28 subs during World War II; although this particular sub was built in Connecticut, it's of the same family as the Manitowoc ships. Moreover, Cobia was stationed in Milwaukee for about a decade (National Guard work), so there is a genuine Wisconsin connection.

The only other time I was in Manitowoc was the day the sub was first opened for public display, back in (I think) 1986. That was just accidental.

For the record: This is among the finest museums I've visited, on any subject, in any place. Easily justifies a visit to Manitowoc.
