WWII Submarine Model

I have a certain affinity for this class of submarine, since I served on the USS Picuda (SS-382) which was launched in 1943 and served in the Pacific ocean. It was the oldest commissioned sub in the US Navy when I was aboard it. It was decommissioned in 1972 and given to Spain as part of a deal that got the US a new lease on the Navy base in Rota.
