    USS MACKEREL SST-1

    Looking for info on the MACKEREL, during the mid 1966 - early 1967 time fram. She had some special equipment installed, and was used as a test bed for equipment to be installed on the NR-1. Specifically, I'm looking to answer the following questions:
    1. What color was she painted? Black or grey; red ant-fouling?
    2. Location of the rear wheel?
    3. Rear thrusters?
    4. Are those hydraulic rams or shock absorbers on the front wheel? I assume the rear wheel was set up in a similar fashion. Judging from the men in the picture, the wheel is about 4 feet in diameter.

Working...
