Default Mare Island WWII SS238 Wahoo

Photo labeled SS238 (Wahoo)? date is correct: "On May 23, the submarine departed for Mare Naval Ship Yard, and she arrived six days later to commence overhaul. From 11 July to 20 July the submarine underwent intensive post-repair trials and training." Her launch at Mare Island-note famous sig in pic! Leving the dock at Mare Island and in the Mare Island/ Carquinez Strait-1942: mouth of the Napa River heading SSW for Golden Gate Bridge. Found again 2006; sunk by Japanese air attack on or about OCT 11 1943 off Japan's La Perouse Strait
