At random: USS R-6 was fitted the first prototype US submarine snorkel at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the closing months of the European part of WW II in April / May 1945 and successfully tested it off Fort Lauderdale, Fl. as the war against Japan ended in August 1945. The snorkel was removed from the USS R-6 and she was decommissioned and scrapped in September 1945.

Dynamic static. The motion of its props causes an "aura" to form around this F6F on USS YORKTOWN. Rapid change of pressure and drop in temperature create condensation. Rotating with blades, halo moves aft, giving depth and perspective. November 1943. (Navy) Exact Date Shot Unknown NARA FILE #: 0080-G-204747A WAR & CONFLICT BOOK #: 961
