I'm curious about two things that aren't covered here. Why was there such a long time span between launch and commissioning? And how did she get a battle star if she never went into battle? Kendall-K1 (talk) 17:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting Catch. OK - I jump around several other Wikipedia sites. William Cramp shipbuilding built several "pairs" of submarines - laid down dates the same. "In 1940, the Navy spent $22 million to reopen the yard as Cramp Shipbuilding to build cruisers and submarines. Cramp used the long slipways to construct two submarines at a time, with the intention of launching them simultaneously. However, the shipyard's submarine construction program was not especially successful, as poor management hindered the delivery of the boats.[3] The first delivery was made two years after keel laying, and fitting out was then done by Portsmouth Navy Yard. The best construction time for a submarine was 644 days.[4]" Then fitting out was accomplished at another shipyard. That movement and the proximity to the end of the war might be a reason the Navy dragged their feet on commissisoning her. Wfoj3 (talk) 17:18, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have photographs that I took at the site that I would like to donate. In addition, I have scanned in an engineering diagram of the submarine that they give out at the site that I would like to upload. Any pointers as to how I can do so?

It seems to me the last paragraph of the "Site" section, regarding the bridge, is completely irrelevant to the article and a tad annoying as one wastes time attempting to map it's relevance to the submarine.... Or anything else in the article.
It's an interesting bit of information, on its own, but really should be removed.
