Description
A prop of the USS Cachalot, as she appears in the World of Warships submarine test event.

Unfortunately the first US ship port was not a carrier, but I got something just as good.

THIS IS NOT A DRIVEABLE VEHICLE, AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT ONE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT BOTHER ASKING.

Fully rigged, use a model tool to tamper with moving parts.

Been here for 4 years actually, but you arrived at the best time. I updated it to be better than before.

I never thought I'd see the Catchalot on Garry's Mod, but here we are!

UPDATE:

Redid smoothing, weapon rigging and bodygroups. Model now has several new options of customization, including an adicional dark gray paintjob, separate periscope rigging and machinegun bodygroups, bodygroups for the torpedo covers, torpedo models and more.

Because the models have too many materials for source to handle.

Also why are you commenting here if it's about those ships?
