  1. wrt the question about the Omaha's casemate mounts, best use I can think of is replacing the four upper casemate mounts with AA guns. The footprint looks adequate to take a quad 1.1" early in the war, or a twin Bofors later in the war.

  2. I have been through USS Silversides, in Muskegon, MI. Also a Gato class boat. In her case, they rigged a ladder down the port side forward, and cut a doorway through the hull, rather than ask people to go down the ladder you used on Cod. I would expect that, regardless of age, the USN had height and girth maximums for sub service. I know there are height maximums for pilots.
