Some years ago someone I know stopped at a yard sale of a Detroit fireman who had been able to take some souvenirs before the submarine USS Cero was scrapped.

 

He bought a pair of on board lights and found out about several other fireman who had Cero souvenirs.

 

Here is what he was able to find.

Does anyone have a photo of any of this equipment being used on a sub? Thank you

Does this look like it’s from a sub?

 

And where in the sub would the center line plaque go?

Here is a better picture of the center line.

If you have any information on the center line or any of the other parts please let me know or perhaps you think this story is bogus either way I promise to be happy to hear from you.

Some of those valves certainly look like ones i’ve seen on Museum ships. Have you ever visited the USS Silversides? It’s a Gato class sub in Muskegon (same class as the Cero). Maybe reach out to the museum that runs it. One of them might know where those fittings would have gone. I had several Boy Scout campouts aboard the Silversides and would highly recommend it.

Friar thanks so much for that lead.

 

Im going to Holland this Spring to see the tulips, get some Dutch candy and swing over to Muskegon.

 

In the meantime I found some interior shots of the Silversides that I didn’t find during earlier research.
