6 Dec 45 photo
appeared in the 14 Dec 45 issue of the Mare Island newspaper lists the following
subs present at the dockyard:
Unknown, Dragonet (SS-293), Guavina (SS-362),
Sunfish (SS-281), Sargo (SS-188), Spearfish
(SS-190), Saury (SS-189).
First two ships in second row appear to be: Bashaw (SS-241) and
Mingo (SS-261).
The Tiru (SS-416) is on the building ways on the left above the
subs and surrounding by staging and cranes.
It is interesting to note that the boats have started the mothballing process,
as evidenced by the preservative cocoons around the deck guns.
