At First, I thought were German's but the hats are wrong! I'm not sure what class submarine it is. There is a large cross shaped bracket, or antenna attached to the conning tower! Below that appears to be an metal horseshoe attached to the conning tower upside down!


Thanks in Advance! :ping:

I'm not sure how link the image from there!TAA DAAAAA!https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1252&pictureid=10813 type S-37 (SS-142) laid down in 1918: on patrol till scrapped in 1945!! photo appears to be Lt James C.

In this action the ship became the first U.S. submarine ever to sink an enemy destroyer. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.militarytimes.com/valor/awards/27-medal.png:Kaleun_Salute: my guess is these boats were not designed as 'fleet' boats( as with Gato/Balaos) and the 'cross bracket' looks to be a nav-light bracket when in routine service; the horseshoe is for luck??:O:(I'm clueless)...they didn't call S type submarines 'pigboats' fer nuthin!:k_confused:S-37 lies off Imperial Beach Ca and is a (dangerous) scuba dive site. http://www.cawreckdivers.org/Wrecks/S37.ht4.jpg
