April 10, 2025
We have just completed a weeks long effort to introduce two new pages that cover guns used on submarines! In a format similar to our torpedoes page, the first page is at this link and contains an introduction, notes, and data tables for guns used on U.S. submarines of the pigboat era. The follow-on page can be found here. It contains background historical information on each gun type, including pictures of the guns and mounts and how they were installed on our submarines. There is also a permanent link in the Navigation box on the left of each page. Please give both pages a good read through. We have put an effort into making the information readable and digestible, without getting bogged down in minutiae. If you have any comments or have additional information to add, please contact us here: webmaster@pigboats.com. Enjoy!
On another note, we would like to take a moment to remember our brave shipmates onboard the USS Thresher (SSN-593) who lost their lives 62 years ago today. Rest in peace shipmates. You are not forgotten.

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.
