USS Porpoise (SS-172)
A good port side view of Porpoise. The location is unknown for sure, but suspected to be the Piscataqua River near Kittery, ME. The date is probably the fall of 1935, shortly after her commissioning. She does not yet have a deck gun installed in the photo.
Porpoise a little later in her career, circa 1937. Location is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She has now been fitted with a 3"/50 caliber Mk 6 gun aft of the conning tower fairwater.
