Submarine Crewmen


Wave their newly delivered mail, as their "boat" returns to port from a successful war patrol, circa early 1945. Location is probably Guam.
The returning submarine is probably USS Balao (SS-285).
Note USS LCT-1062 in the left distance, and .30 caliber and .50 caliber machine guns mounted at the submarine's deck edge.
