ARCHERFISH AGSS-311
"Playboys of the Pacific" - The all single-guys
boat
In early 1960, ARCHERFISH was chosen to participate
in Operation "Sea Scan," a scientific study of marine weather conditions,
water composition, ocean depths, and temperature ranges. She entered the
Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in January to be specially equipped for this
new mission. During this time, the vessel was redesignated an auxiliary
submarine, AGSS-311. Embarking a team of civilian scientists, she commenced
the first phase of operation "Sea Scan" on 18 May.

PEARL
HARBOR DAY: 7 December 1941
From Neal Stevens' Cavalla website
FAQ
page:
"On December 7, 1941, the Japanese aircraft carrier
Shokaku, along with five other carriers and Admiral Yamamoto’s task force,
launched planes on the American naval base in Pearl Harbor. Those planes
crippled and sank seven US battleships, clearing the way for a series of
successful Japanese aggressions in the Pacific.
On the afternoon
of June
19, 1944, the USS Cavalla stalked and sank Shokaku, avenging the attack
at Pearl Harbor. Of all the warships on display in Texas, Cavalla is by
far the most successful."
