At random: Among the 'first' that Electric Boat Division has introduced into American submarines, have been the marine Diesel engine, the perfected use of the storage battery, the combination of battery and internal combustion engine, and the world's first adaptation of nuclear energy to propulsion in the USS NAUTILUS.

Subject: USS Razorback Control Room photos

I am seeking photos of RAZORBACK's control room - looking forward, looking aft, and port and starboard views - to assist in my research of USS CATFISH (SS-339)/ARA SANTA FE (S-21).

They need to be of good resolution, as the photos will assist me in researching actions surrounding the death of Suboficial Primero (CPO) Felix Artuso, the Argentinian crewman who died onboard SANTA FE on 26 April 1982, when the sub was being moved from the pier at King Edward Point across the sound to the whaling pier in Grytiken, South Georgia.

Also, did RAZORBACK receive the Prairie Masker system?? Any information on this would be great, as my Argentinian sources say that CATFISH/SANTA FE was converted with the Prairie Masker system ..
