Tuna is shown here outboard of Searaven (SS-196) and Dentuda (SS-335) at Mare Island while the boats were being prepped for decommissioning in 1946. If you look closely at the decks of the Searaven and Tuna just forward of the conning tower fairwaters are the boat shaped covers of the deck hatches used to store the ships boats. Pre WW II submarines carried two small craft used to ferry men and supplies to shore and other vessels. Once the war started these were considered not necessary and the boats were removed.
