[StartQuote] Hey Drew, No worries. That's why we share ideas here. It's okay we don't agree on what I think are tube covers. I was looking at Frank Johnson's book and there is a photo of the tubes used to ship torpedos. It has a cover that looks a lot like the cover on the 61 boat. I'm convinced that it's a natural metal such as brass and and has a nice petena from being exposed. I'm thinking that this is the same case on the 109 boat. What else would they have made these out of? I've also noticed from looking at photos of the 105 boat they covered the ends with canvas. Why? What are they protecting? Also some covers seem to be half domes and others seem to be shallower and covered with canvas. Sometimes there is nothing but canvas covering the end. That's why I really want to hear from some vets about these covers. I'm sure there are some stories to tell and information to share. I'm going to start a new post! :-) Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
