Doesn't that seem very strange to you? There were plenty of contemporary subs that had done notable things, and many of the vessels at Disneyland bore their names.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-75167214354399865832010-04-30T21:17:03.979-07:002010-04-30T21:17:03.979-07:00I was wondering about the connection to the submar...I was wondering about the connection to the submarine Queenfish as well, but it seems she wasn't even ordered until 1963 - her mission being to help map the Arctic. So that helps tie the image together to some degree.<br /><br />What a curious slide... Maybe it's a celebration of sorts for the new sub to come.outsidethebermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272382432824523809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-24128656953187619582010-04-30T19:43:47.186-07:002010-04-30T19:43:47.186-07:00Hmmm, according to navsource.org, the sub "SS...Hmmm, according to navsource.org, the sub "SSN-651 was Commissioned in 1966, the Queenfish (SSN-651) was a nuclear-powered attack submarine, the first in a new class designed with additional abilities for sailing under ice."<br /><br />Perhaps this was some sort of party/celebration related to the launching of the sub...<br /><br />G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-9931011531159234792010-04-29T19:03:43.256-07:002010-04-29T19:03:43.256-07:00pretty cool stuff.
