Popis:

Cruisers visible in this photo: Far right - Miami (CL 89) - Furthest along; aft turrets and catapults in place. Left of Miami is Astoria (CL 90) - she is about a month behind Miami. Left of Astoria, in the large shipway, is Oklahoma City (CL 91) - a significant portion of hull has been built. Left of Oklahoma City is Little Rock (CL 92) - Keel was just been laid on 6 March, which is visible under crane structure. Note the 8 submarines in various stages of construction to the left of the Little Rock (4 per shipway). They are most likely: Devilfish (SS 292) Dragonet (SS 293) Escolar (SS 294) Hackleback (SS 295) Lancetfish (SS 296) Ling (SS 297) Lionfish (SS 298) Manta (SS 299)

The shipyard's submarine construction program was not especially successful. Poor management hindered the delivery of the boats. The first delivery was made two years after keel laying, and fitting out was then done by Portsmouth Navy Yard. The best construction time for a submarine was 644 days.
