I have two B&W original negatives of USS DIODON (SS-349).

11/16/53 - a waterlevel port view, underway, broadside, background appears to be San Diego , Pt Loma area.

l965, water level, port view, broadside, underway, background shows sterns of tenders Sperry & Nereus & piers.

These are good quality negatives, from which I can supply an 8x10 for 10.00 ea, or 11x14 for 20.00, plus 2.50 to mail any qty.
