Submarines in San Diego harbor, California, 1940
Moored alongside USS Holland (AS-3), from which the photograph
was taken, the submarines are (from left to right): Salmon
(SS-182); Seal (SS-183); Pickerel (SS-177); Plunger
(SS-179); Snapper (SS-185) and Permit (SS-178).
Note the small motor boats, of the type carried by fleet submarines
prior to World War II.
One of the men standing on Salmon's deck is Yeoman Clayton
Johnson, who in 1969 was a Commander serving at the Naval History
Division.
USS Enterprise (CV-6) is in the distance, tied up at Naval
Air Station, North Island.
