Hi.

I am wondering if anyone has any pics of USS Barbero, SS-317. She was a Balao-class and I need pics of her in '44. My grandfather was the first CO of the boat. I am going to build the Revell Gato as her, and need some references. All I have found are pics of her after her conversion to a SSG.

Thanks,
Chris.
