| Keywords: performer people musician indoor Lot-9434-25: These Men Are In Training For Life On A U.S. Submarine. The modern submarine is playing a big part in the war on the seas. Its quarry is all of the enemy’s navy but its aircraft. It seeks convoys and unprotected merchant ships, harries fleets, and sometimes engages in deadly underwater duels with others of its own kind. Among the world’s navies, U.S. submarines are considered supreme. One reason for this supremacy is the strenuous training of their crews. The training, shown in this set of 18 pictures, is given the submarine candidate at U.S. Navy’s Submarine School at New London, Connecticut, in the northeastern section of the United States. Shown: The officers and the enlisted men at the New London School are presented with every problem they may meet at sea. They learn to repair and maintain the Diesel engines and batteries that supply the submarine’s power. They are instructed in the fine art of plotting an underwater course. Officers peer through periscopes. Machinists, electricians and torpedomen become thoroughly familiar with every piece of equipment they will be responsible for at sea. Here, a group of students is learning to operate the submarine’s hydrophones. Office of War Information Photograph, April 22-28, 1942. (2016/01/08).
