Nearly two hundred images depict the sailors and civilian workers who together maintained, serviced, and staffed the submarines, shops, and offices in support of the growing submarine fleet.
David J. Bishop compiled Naval Submarine Base New London from the archives of the Submarine Force Library and Museum and his personal collection. Bishop was employed at the submarine base from 1971 to 1997 and is the former curator of both the Submarine Force Library and Museum and the New London Maritime Society’s 1833 Robert Mills Custom House Museum.
