U.S. Navy Submarine Moored at Submarine Base, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, October 1945
Photographed at the Submarine Base, Pearl Harbor in October 1945, this snapshot captures a U.S. Navy submarine moored alongside a support vessel just weeks after Japan's surrender ended World War II. Pearl Harbor served as the principal forward base for the Pacific submarine fleet, and scenes like this one reflect the base's continuing activity during the immediate postwar demobilization period.
