USS O-8 (SS-69)
Underway and about to submerge.
"It was from O-8 that a radio program was broadcast
from under water. Two NBC announcers, one located in the main
control room of the submarine, and another situated in the torpedo
room, described their sensations as the sub made its descent
to the bottom of the sea." (quoted from the original mid-1920s
vintage caption).
