O
The
story behind the painting...
US
fleet submarines which were such a potent force in the Pacific during
WWII, were used well into the 1970s. Many were converted in the
Guppy Program. The deck was cleared of protrusions such as antenna
supports and deck guns. The bow and superstructure were smoothed and
a fairing built around the bridge and the support structure for the
antennas and periscopes. A snorkel system was added to allow the
boat to run on its diesel engines while submerged. Most of the time,
however, the boats transited on the surface where their speed could be
used to advantage.
