Submarine article from 1946
 
This was interesting, and I thought others might like to download the pdf copy to read. It was written by an officer who served on the USS Loggerhead, and is in Engineering and Science monthly, August, 1946. Published by the Alumni Association of Cal.Tech.


Modern United States Submarines
By Lt. (j.g.) HARRISON W. SIGWORTH

The article starts on page 4 (which is actually the sixth page of the pdf).

Fascinating article. Thanks!

Of particular note are the 'Neutral Bouyancy' piece on page 5, and the 'Diseases (and rats) at sea' discussion.
