| Keywords: indoor monochrome Lot-9434-22: 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: In the pressure chamber, all candidates accepted for submarine service receive their preliminary test for underwater fitness. In order to pass it, they must spend about 23 minutes undergoing 50 pounds of pressure. This is equivalent to a sea depth of more than 100 feet. An instructor, (at right), is observing their reactions to the pressure. Office of War Information Photograph, April 22-28, 1942. (2016/01/08).
