EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1943, captures the intense training environment of the U.S. Navy Submarine School at New London. The school was a critical component in preparing men for the dangerous calling of serving as submarine crew members during World War II. The scene depicted in the image shows students engaged in rigorous training exercises, both in and out of the water. The men are seen in various stages of instruction, with some working on towers and apparatus, while others are submerged in the filled tanks. The tanks, which were used to simulate real-life submarine conditions, were essential for the crew's training and preparation for the challenges they would face at sea. The U.S. Navy's submarine program was a vital part of the Allied war effort during World War II, and the training school at New London played a crucial role in ensuring that the submarine crews were well-equipped to carry out their missions. The men in these photographs are focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the intensity and seriousness of the task at hand. The submarine school was a rigorous and demanding environment, designed to test the limits of the men who attended. The training was essential, as the submarines and their crews would face numerous challenges during their deployments, including long periods of time underwater, the pressure of depth, and the constant threat of enemy attack. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and the critical role that the submarine program played in the outcome of the war. The training school at New London was a crucial part of that effort, and the men who graduated from its ranks went on to serve with distinction and courage in the world's most dangerous and challenging environments.
