I have been reading a number of books lately, basically my Christmas presents, and had somehow completely forgotten about my copy of the February 08 Naval History Magazine. As always great stuff, it is by far the best periodical I subscribe to.One article in particular I enjoyed was an article by Norman Polmar offering an Illustrated History of American Submarine Development. I was very pleased when I looked on the Naval Institute website and noticed, it is not a members only article, meaning anyone can read it.
The article, called "From One-Man Submersible to High-Tech Behemoth" requires the reader to register free on the site to view. This picture in particular caught my attention, I inherited a few pictures of the Greenfish (SS 351) from my grandfather. If I had to guess, this picture looks like it was taken in the early 50s in Pearl Harbor, because it is very similar to pictures I have, although that picture is much better quality.
Top stuff from Naval History Magazine and Norman Polmar, definitely worth the free registration, although I would argue the magazine subscription itself is well worth it too.
