[Aufklarung]

What's strange is I couldn't find a pic so I read a lot of web-sites and made an educated guess which turned out to be correct.

Wow!! Who would have thought an education was good for something!!

Thank you, Juha. That was a good question.

Mine:

I am a US submarine (eventually) sunk off Norway.

What was my name when not in USNavy service?

Hint #2

I was built by Simon Lake's Torpedo Boat Company in 1916 but was used between the wars on a scientific voyage. I was extensively modified for this voyage.
