At random: "I saw the submariners, the way they stood aloof and silent, watching their pigboat with loving eyes. They are alone in the Navy. I admired the PT boys. And I often wondered how the aviators had the courage to go out day after day and I forgave their boasting. But the submariners! In the entire fleet they stand apart!” -- James Michener

Nice Newspaper photo taken of V-5 (Narwhal) on Builders Trials, July 1930.
The Submarine was commissioned May 15, 1930 before builders trials were completed. Diving trials didn't happen until October of 1930.
Lots of interesting stuff on deck.

Enjoy!!
