Merry Christmas to everyone!

I am now in Sierra Leone (my Mali days are over, now that the country is run by Putschists with an ECOWAS/UN-lead intervention scheduled only somewhere in September 2013) and I happened to stumble on the picture below, which I find quite nice:

On the webpage, there was a small French text that I translate here:

Dived into the night? The sun is setting behind Onondaga, Canada's sole submarine reserved to public access, moored in Pointe-au-Père's port, in Rimouski (Québec). The 90-meter (295.25 ft) long submarine, which was commissioned in the Royal Canadian Marine on June 22 1968 and retired in July 2000, was once armed with six bow torpedo tubes.

Under the - Useful Links & Information sticky at the top of the SHIV forum there is a thread called - World War II Submarines On Public Display that has a few subs in it.
