The 4 eye butterfly fish that is a Kete.
All the hands you see here went down with their ship on the next deployment. 
Map showing location of the loss of the Kete.
SS-352 Halfbeak
Notice the distinctive upper rudder, installed to increase manuverability ,shown here in 4-22-48. This modifacation was installed on two other subs as well.
The upper rudder is gone in this photo of 1967. Shes also recieved a different sail.
The Dogfish SS-350 in a floating drydock at New London , Ct. in 1966. Is it my imagination or is that a bulge thats not supposed to be there below the bow plane.
Same except different view.
Underway during the same year. What is that tripod in front of the sail? You would think that it would have been removed before putting to sea.
SS-349 Diodon all tied up.
Here she is in drydock in Yoksuka, Japan 1963.
Playing with munitions
The text says it all. They cost so much money to produce then they were expendable! This is the SS-362 Gavino
Good modelers view of props and planes. Also look at the color of the algae stains at the water line.
A spread of 4 torpedos. Each one must have been fired on a slightly different bearing, a true spread.
An excellant formation picture. Would make a good picture for your computer desktop. The closest one to the camera lens is SS-324 Blenny. Then comes Corporal, Clamgore and Cobbler.
It is the SS-338 Carp in the Artic circle in 1948.
In this view you can see the descending limber holes well , including on deck Sonar bulge and sail detail. Notice the uneven application of paint on the upper surface of the sail as opposed to the sides. No doubt anti aircraft coloration.
How often do you get to check under the hood of a submarine? Only on the Subcommittee! Look at the large mufflers.
Air induction piping and valves
On the good ship SS-331 Bugara ,a little target practice. In action can be seen the 40mm Bofers closest to the camera and 5" gun in the background.
Either entering or leaving San Francisco in october of 1947.
This is the SS-326 Blueback numbered S18 in Turkish service as the Inonu.
The rear of the guppy sail can be seen to good advantage on the SS-323 Caimen.
