An excellent starboard side view of Gudgeon, August 7, 1943 after an overhaul and modernization at Mare Island. She is very similar to Grayback at this time, with a Mod 3 Long Bridge conning tower fairwater variation. The SJ radar mast is prominent above the bridge. Both periscopes are lowered but the SD radar mast is fully raised. The circular loop aft of the SD mast is a radio direction finder (RDF) loop which could be used in an intelligence role or as a navigation aid. The expanded sponson for the big 5"/51 caliber deck gun is quite apparent.
