USS Triton SS 201

USS Triton SS 201

USS Triton SS 201 seen on May 15, 1940 as she continues her new construction phase at Portsmouth Navy Shipyard. Triton is sitting very high in the water as all of her tanks are probably dry.

There appears to be a temporary structure built around her periscope shears. Mast work no doubt.

The submarine seen in the foreground is the USS Sailfish, ex-Squalus, as she is being re-commissioned after her sinking and salvage.

The USS Triton on sea trials off the New England coast circa summer 1940. An other submarine is in the distance. The number is unreadable but maybe the USS Trout, she may be waiting her turn to have her photo taken. The Starboard lookout is looking right at the camera with his binoculars. The Port lookout seems to be looking at something else above his head, maybe another airplane.
