At random: The USS SKATE (SSN 578) was the first vessel ever to surface at the North Pole, when on March 17, 1959 she surfaced there to conduct memorial services for the renowned Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins.

Subject: Another Update

This one brings up to 7 the number of images taken in sequence on June 21, 1928 of the V-4 (Argonaut) conducting trials off Provincetown, MA where she made a record breaking dive of 318 feet. At that time the deepest a US sub had ever gone. This last photo clearly show the Provincetown Pilgrims Monument in the background. Interesting also is that she has just arrived at the surface and hasn't yet retracted her bow planes. Their housing recess is clearly empty.

Enjoy!!
