One other tip, before bringing my oldest boy out to the U835 in 2019, I flew with him out to Chicago and we took some time on the U505 at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Both are Type IXC boats and it enhanced the dive tremendously for my son as he became familiar with the layout. The staff at the Museum was very nice and one of them spent almost an hour walking around with us and pointing out mechanical features.
