One of my boats - Vallejo 658 - was built at Mare Island. My other boat - Key 657 - was built at EB Groton. It was difficult to see any difference except the interior colors of paint and the ships patch om the mess deck.

But here is a photo claiming to be the last Mare Island boat - USS Drum

I guess the question is; Is the Drum the last boat built out of Mare Island and if not which one was......

My sources say that is so. Drum was the last

Actually, no question; just posting interesting information about submarines.

Sorry if my post was misleading.
