No. 7 - Danger

A look inside one of the forward Torpedo Tubes of the Soviet Submarine B-39.
I used a speed light to illuminate the inside of the tube and braced the camera against a torpedo hoist as tripods are not allowed.
The submarine is part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego and can be viewed inside bow to stern.
You can take a complete tour of the submarine here: Click here

Yes... dangerous... frightening to think of being under the water in a submarine!

Wow, that's something really special!

This is a terrific shot! I don't think I'd like to go inside even in dry dock.
Doug Cruden07-Oct-2009 05:53
Nice work with the fish! Huge angle of view in this cramped and dangerous environment

Torpedo man! So how is it that you have in San Diego a Russian submarine? It does look really dangerous!
