| Keywords: Lot-9434-23: These Men Are In Training For Life On A U.S. Submarine. The modern submarine is playing a big part in the war on the seas. Its quarry is all of the enemy’s navy but its aircraft. It seeks convoys and unprotected merchant ships, harries fleets, and sometimes engages in deadly underwater duels with others of its own kind. Among the world’s navies, U.S. submarines are considered supreme. One reason for this supremacy is the strenuous training of their crews. The training, shown in this set of 18 pictures, is given the submarine candidate at U.S. Navy’s Submarine School at New London, Connecticut, in the northeastern section of the United States. Shown: To conquer the terror of deep waters, the students descend to various levels of a 138-foot tower containing 100 feet of water. From the successively deep levels, using an oxygen-supplying Momsen Lung to breathe, they float up to the top. Office of War Information Photograph, April 22-28, 1942. (2016/01/08).
