I used to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as a kid, and always made a beeline to the U-505. You could walk through the boat and get a real feel for the cramped quarters. Is it still there? I last saw it back in about 1971.

If you ever get a chance, go visit the U-boat pens at St. Nazaire. They have a U-boat you can walk through, if I remember rightly (I was a kid at the time).
