At random: Records for enemy shipping sunk by U.S. submarines during World War II are held by two boats built by Electric Boat. The USS FLASHER sank 100,231 tons of Japanese shipping, while the USS TAUTOG holds the record for the most ships - 26.

Today we feature a crew picture from the 1953 era of the USS Charr SS-318 sent over by Richard Reichner, our in-house retired torpedoman Chief down in sunny San Diego - thanks for sharing this great shot Richard!

I thought I understood boat numbering but apparently not. In 1953 the Charr was SS318 and 10 years later when I was on her she was SS328. Doesn't it get confusing when all the boats change their numbers by one each year.

I expect that was simply a typo. Forunately I've never done that myself.
