Opis:

The U.S. Navy submarine USS Wahoo (SS-238) at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (USA), soon after the end of her third war patrol, circa 7 February 1943. Her Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Commander Dudley W. Morton, is on the open bridge, in right center. The officer standing at left appears to be the Executive Officer, Lieutenant Richard H. O'Kane.

Note: the broom lashed to the periscope head, indicating a clean sweep of enemy targets encountered; the pennant bearing the slogan "Shoot the sunza bitches" and eight small flags, representing claimed sinkings of two Japanese warships and six merchant vessels. Note that the forward radar mast, mounted in front of the periscope shears, has been censored out of this photograph.
