Title: USS Nautilus (SS-168)
Description: Off the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, 15 April 1942, following modernization. Note her very heavy deck armament of two 6/53 guns; also embrasure in her upper hull side, just in front of the forward gun, for newly-installed topside torpedo tubes. At least two torpedoes are on deck above this location, probably being prepared for stowage below. Photograph from the Bureau of Ships Collection in the U.S. National Archives.
