USS Wahoo (SS-238)
Arrives at Pearl Harbor at the end of her third war patrol, circa
7 February 1943.
The original caption, released with this photograph on 3 March
1943, reads: "Hero's Wecome -- A Navy band is on hand to
greet the submarine Wahoo on her return to Pearl Harbor
following a patrol during which she sank a Japanese destroyer
and an entire enemy convoy of four ships. The battle with the
convoy lasted for a period of 14 hours."
Note that Wahoo's radar antennas have been crudely censored
out of the image.
