The Enrico Toti, a full scale submarine hunter-killer is on travel to the National Museum of Science and Technology of Milan, Italy.

It was towed across the Atlantic from Turkey to New Orleans, towed up the Mississippi, and then moved by barge up the Arkansas River to N. Little Rock. > 100km, huh? Hell, we have the USS Razorback permanently berthed >on the Arkansas River... ;-p A river would make it easy even in the heart of the Amazonic jungle :-) Do you know about any river in Milan? The Toti has been towed from Taranto to the Po river mouth in the Adriatic Sea and in the river until Piacenza, 120 KM off Milan. *Then* began the road trip on powered trolleys, then it crossed the town center and finally it was posed in the museum, right downtown (http://www.museoscienza.org/toti/diario_9.asp?pag=9) Not exactly the same effort. ><http://www.northlr.org/maritime-museum/photo-gallery/> Nice ship.

Yes, it's not the full hull but there was enough for the RAN to go scavenging for steering parts some years back.
