Hey guys,

So today I decided to do something bigger and different for a change, I decided to make the USS Torsk, which is a World War 2 submarine used by US Navy. I mainly made it because I have toured the real submarine in Baltimore, Maryland. It is also noted as the last submarine to sink a ship for the US Navy in World War 2. And I am proud to say that I think this is the first Tench-class in Minecraft.
