Making silk purses out of WWII fleet subs...
« on: March 07, 2010, 02:18:05 PM »
Imagine you're given the job tiitle of Submarine Interior Decorator!

Yup, it really happened in 1958 aboard the Manitowoc-built sub RASHER.  Check out these pictures.  Nice job Martha Stewart of subs!  If only I could follow in your fine footsteps!   :smitten:
