You could always try to find out who made them and try to have whom ever made them to make you a set. or you could just pitch a tent over them and live there....

It looks like a Fleet Submarine, but I can't quite nail down the class, the conning tower has a less common shape than most of the Fleet Subs I've seen. Perhaps a modified postwar Tench class...?? You didn't by any chance see a name plate on this thing did you Red...??
