Response to GATO EMERGENCY BOUY
As I am not a sailor type,but I do model for my own reasons. All referance material I have seen pertaining to WW2 Gato submarines show the rescue bouys removed and the compartments plated over. This was to prevent the bouy from being dislodged during attack and giving away the subs position. Also rescue was note considered a priority for a sunken sub and given the way our subs operated in WW2 a subs loss would not be known untill rescue did not matter anymore.So all you folks upset about the "wrong bouy"get off your high horse it's a hobby.
