174

An interesting photo of the Shark's bow as she sat on the building slip at Electric Boat, May 20, 1935. She would be launched the next day. All four of the forward torpedo tube shutter doors can be seen. This photo gives a good impression of how fine a form the bow was.

Photo provided by SN Alan A Palmer, USN, whose uncle was aboard when Shark was lost.
