<HTML>Battleship Cove is about an hours drive from New London and the USSN Nautilis. The fleetboat in Battleship Cove, the USS Lionfish, is over twice the displacement of a type VIIc U-boat. It was a lot more comfortable for the crew. They did not run from one end of the boat to the other to dive. The hatches are larger than a U-boat. The U-boat used a 1 meter round hatch while the fleet boat uses an oval hatch. There may be more than the origonal number of bunks on board. The Lionfish was a special ops boat during the Korean War and may still be set up to carry extra troops. The engines are standard diesels, pretty much the same engine is used in diesel locomotives.</HTML>
