  • A Visual Guide to the Gato Class
    A VISUAL GUIDE TO THE U.S. FLEET SUBMARINES PART ONE: GATO CLASS (WITH A TAMBOR/GAR CLASS POSTSCRIPT) 1941-1945 BY DAVID L. JOHNSTON 2010 (revised June, 2010) A cursory review of photographs of the U.S. fleet submarines of World War II often leaves the reader with the impression that the boats were nearly identical in appearance. Indeed, the fleet boats from the Porpoise class all the way to the late war Tench class were all similar enough in appearance that it is easy to see how this impression is justified. However, a more detailed examination of the boats will reveal a bewildering array of differences, some of them quite distinct, that allow the separation of the boats into their respective classes. Ironically, the rapidly changing configuration of the boats’ appearances often makes it difficult to get down to a specific boat identification. However being familiar with all of the wartime changes will allow you to narrow down the date of the photo and when combined with other data will sometimes get you the specific name. The Gato class started construction on 11 September 1940 with the Drum at Portsmouth and ended on 01 March 1944 with the commissioning of the Hammerhead at Manitowoc. With a construction period spanning a time of tremendous change within the force, these boats were subjected to several distinct modifications to their outward appearance, with these configurations being distinct enough to allow their visual separation from the earlier Porpoise/Perch, Salmon/Sargo, and Tambor/Gar boats, and the later Balao and Tench classes.

    IIT NROTC Unit Fall 2015 Volume 1, Issue 1 The Crow’s Nest II MESSAGE FROM THE CO: A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE After 28 years of service at 13 different commands, this is definitely the best job in the Navy. I am humbled by the privilege in helping to prepare you, our future leaders in the Navy and Marine Corps, in the Profession of Arms. There is not a more dedicated, uniquely talented team of midshipmen at any of the 63 other NROTC units/consortia and USNA -- because they’re all here in the NROTC Chicago Consortium -- especially at IIT and UIC! In August, we welcomed the five new fourth-class midshipmen into the unit during New Student Orientation at the Navy’s Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes. It was there that our upper-class midshipmen staff launched their leadership skills into action by conducting small arms familiarization, sailing and swim qualifications, close order drill, marching, military indoctrination and many, many PT sessions. You interfaced regularly with your Fleet counterparts and observed a “capping ceremony” in which the enlistees make that emotional transition from “Recruit” to “Sailor” towards the end of boot camp. In October, we held the Chicago Consortium drill competition with Northwestern and Loyola universities this quarter, and the IIT/UIC team won both the Color Guard and INSIDE THIS ISSUE Endurance Team competitions. These were resounding successes and came close to NSO Week ...............................3 breaking some team records!

  • Abstract Corsairs in Drain Pipes an Examination of the Submariner Folk
    Abstract Corsairs in Drain Pipes An Examination of the Submariner Folk Group in The United States Navy During the Second World War By Zachary T. Mason October, 2014 Director: David Stewart Department of History During the Second World War, United States submariners were isolated from the rest of the Navy. Submariners faced a higher level and different type of danger than the rest of the Navy. They developed their own way of speaking, a unique worldview, and their own traditions. Although it is widely recognized, especially among contemporary sources, that submariners shared a unique bond, nothing has been published that examines submariners as a cultural group. This project will examine submariners as a distinct sub- culture within maritime culture. In doing so, the author hopes to identify and examine the reasons for its formation. This project will focus on the United States Navy during World War Two. This project utilizes firsthand accounts of submariners and an examination of actual submarines, submarine memorials, and submariner material culture to identify, explain, and define submariner culture.
