Another question regarding a diesel boat's configuration when submerged. Was the ship's bell or it's clapper stowed below when rigging for dive? If not, would it become a source of noise? Thanks again. More details concerning the model I'm building. |

RANKOON? WHAT THE HELL IS A RANKOON? When I was on the Jallao, I looked, but never found, the ship's bell. (I was a QM it was kinda important.) Then I went to the museum up in Manitowoc, and there it was. I guess if you keep it in a glass case in Wisconsin, you don't have to worry about it making noise while submerged. |

Aboard the Tirante in the 1960s the cooks were responsible for the bell. It was mounted aft of the sail in port and the cook had to bring it below when setting the maneuvering watch. It was moounted to a short pipe that would slip into a hole on the sail. It was stored in one of the bench seats. I think the mess cooks had to polish it.
Today it resides with an old Tirante mate in Alabama.

The bell for the USS Cubera SS-347 is mounted on the forward deck of the USS Cod SS-224. I proudly served on both of these submarines. |

Thank you all for your inputs. I think I'll run with TSPoon's comments regarding the cooks being responsible for bringing the bell below when the maneuvering watch was set. Makes the most sense plus now I don't have to build a 1/192 bell! |
