Grenadier underway in the Piscataqua River near the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, ME. on December 27, 1941. The last of the Tambor/Gar-class boats to be commissioned, a post-shakedown refit delayed her departure for the war zone in the Pacific. She was still at Portsmouth when hostilities commenced on December 7, 1941. Note that all exterior identification has been painted out. This happened immediately after the war began.
