March 9, 2025
We have been doing a lot of work updating our page headers with a new style that still invokes the traditional PigBoats.COM look. This is an ongoing process and is not yet completed. An example is at the top of this page! Also, the Design and Construction Notes section for L and N-classes has been updated with new information.
February 14, 2025
We also added four new photos and one replacement on the S-4 Salvage page. Make sure to check those out.
February 2, 2025
We have also added a new article entitled The Final Dive of the USS F-4, co-authored by historian Jon Humboldt Gates. Ric Hedman's articles A list of Submarine Officers and their Assignments and Submarine Movements have been updated with date headers, which will make it easier to find information within. These two articles are a collection of newspaper snippets that will help round out our Commanding Officer Database and information on the individual boat pages. Both articles are also searchable by using the ctrl-F function.

In addition, webmaster Dave Johnston has spent the last two weeks working to correct an oversight here at PigBoats. We have never had a page commemorating the "Father of the Modern Submarine", John Philip Holland. We now have a whole new page that gives a detailed overview of the famous inventor, outlining his efforts to develop submarine technology, and providing details of the boats that he built that were not accepted into the U.S. Navy. Please take a moment to read about this great man and his paradigm shifting work.
December 16, 2024
We have also added some new information to the Submarine Classes page. This new information will help round out understanding of the different tactical and strategic roles that submarines of the pigboat era fulfilled.
