Yeah the G.W.Carver is razors too.
I read that they brought the piano in one piece, when they had a big hole in the hull during construction, had it in a custom made aluminum box that they stored onboard until after the hull was all welded and there was no way to take it back off the boat. Was one of the captain's orders to bring it onboard, must have been an "interesting" captain.
Cool sub history.
Oh yeah btw, too add to this, the piano was tracked down by several ex crew members after the sub was decommissioned, was donated to one museum (forget which one) lost then found again and Steinway in exchange for being able to display it rebuilt it for free, it's on display at their own museum for their I think 150th anniversary.
