It is said that "A picture is worth a thousand words." The photographs shown here are of those former crew members who served on USS Tunny (SSG-282) when she operated as the Navy's first operational guided missile submarine. The photos depict those Tunny veterans who we have photos for. Some are before they came to Tunny, and some after they left Tunny. The source for most of the photos came from Tunny's Digital Archives. The Individuals are listed in alphabetical order and the photos were arranged in left to right time order. Many thanks to all those former Tunny crew members and relatives who contributed to this collection. Some of the photos shown resulted from researching the Internet, reaching out to relatives who share their photos from their family archives. MUCH THANKS to all those for contributing to this submarine's unique history. |
