<div style="text-align: justified;"><span style="color:#00008B">We have spent the last two weeks working on a whole new feature! PigBoats.COM now has two new informational pages that covers the submarine's primary weapon, the torpedo. One page covers background information and specifications of the torpedoes used during the Pigboat era, and the second page has detailed information on each weapon along with photos. The specifications page can be accessed [[Torpedoes|'''at this link''']] or through the link in the Navigation box on the left. The photos page can be accessed through specific links in the specifications table. Enjoy! As always, if you have questions or comments please let us know.

November 3, 2024

In addition, we have completed a rewrite of the S-20 page, adding new information that adds quite a bit to the story of this unique boat. We have also explored the Great Torpedo Scandal of WWII, which includes an alternate history scenario that lays out a plausible timeline of how the scandal could have been avoided. Take a look at this page to read about "Those Marvelous Tin Fish".

We have also moved some information to our Notable Submarine Accidents page, rounding out that list of USN submarine accidents.
