USS Torsk
USS Torsk Minecraft Replica
Hey guys, it's cjmcglaughlin here, with a new Minecraft build. Today I bring you the USS Torsk, a Tench-class World War 2 submarine.I decided to make this sub because I have toured it in Baltimore, Maryland where it is docked in the inner harbor. A fun fact about this submarine is that it sank the last ship sunk by the US Navy in World War 2. Here are some specs on the submarine, courtesy of Wikipedia:
