At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

...what this large hump is on the stern of the Narwhal? Photo taken on Oct 8, 1994 in Norfolk.
Since this was announced publicly at the Tolling of the Boats last Sat I can mention it here.
Adm Herb Bridge (ret), a driving force in founding the Keyport Under Sea Museum, said that he has been in discussions with the Navy about getting Narwhal for this area and they are listening. I believe much prep work has already been done for the failed Louisville effort. Moving it would only be a 20 mile tow or less.
