Conning Tower of the USS Carp SS-338

The pressure hull of the conning tower of the USS Carp SS-338 without the faring. The rest was scrapped in 1971. I know this because I got it donated from the owner to the museum last year. Here's a picture of the conning tower and myself, just before it was put on the truck.
