Photograph of a general arrangement drawing of the boat and its spar torpedo. The original plan appears to be of 19th Century vintage and is drawn on cloth. Lieutenant William B. Cushing used U.S. Navy Picket Boat No. 1 to sink the Confederate ironclad Albemarle on the night of 27-28 October 1864. Credit: NAVY.

1939 vintage photograph, which was widely used to represent Squalus at the time of her sinking in May of that year. This is actually a photo of USS Salmon (SS-182), retouched to change Salmon's side number ("S1") to that of Squalus ("S11"). See Photo # NH 63417 for the original, unretouched image. Credit: NAVY.

Landing on board USS Enterprise (CV-6), in about July 1941. Note landing signal officer is in the foreground, and plane guard destroyers in the center distance. The original photo caption gives a date of 8 April 1942, which is highly improbable as the plane is in mid-1941 vintage overall gray paint and the destroyers are wearing peacetime light gray paint.
