Not bragging, but not only did I see them, but I did go aboard both of them. We Marines got along very well with the submarine sailors. They would let us visit their boats anytime. Most of them had served on War Patrols. We were mostly 18 yr. olds. It was very impressive to be in their company. U-2513 was dark and weather-beaten from service. Inside she looked used. U-3008 was gray and very clean, I don't believe she saw service before the war ended, because everything in her looked new. U-505 was there also. She was off to side, looked really beat-up,like a piece of junk. At the time we didn't know she was 505 or her story.

Aaahhh, the memories!!!

Juan, don't apologize for your English. I've heard some terrible Spanish. You should hear me try to say anything in French or German. We may damage the grammar, but at least we try to use the other person's language.
