Grayback at rest about seven weeks prior to her commissioning on May 6, 1941. Location is unknown but is likely Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts. Grayback is not yet complete at this point, and these trials will reveal any issue that needs to be addressed. A few steel plates still need to be installed on the side of the conning tower fairwater. This area is free flooding when the boat dives so this is not an immediate issue.
