This is a close up of a much larger photo.
The two left hand boats are unknown but it does show Barbero, (317) and Hardhead (365) and nestled between them, (deduced from the larger photo), is Spadefish. The other boats are unknown at this time. Date on photo is May, 3, 1946 at Mare Island Shipyard, Ca.

I wonder if the order of the boats you HAVE identified matches up with any of the rows in that well-circulated aerial shot of the MINSY reserve sub fleet. Based on surroundings, the bows of the boats shown here are pointing West. In the overview photo I'm talking about, West is at bottom of shot.
Of course these guys are still in commission and haven't gone through moth-balling yet, and I imagine there was a lot of shifting positions as they'd break boats out of the rafts to go through the process.
