The USS Growler is the second and final Greyback class submarine, whose main goal was to test the Regulus I and II cruise missiles.

Additionally, here are some pictures of the exterior and interior of the USS Growler that I took on my visit to NYC.

I don't remember exactly what all these rooms were mostly engine/control/sonar rooms

I actually used that first image as my reference photo, I scaled it down to match the SB size, might have messed it up just a bit lol

Nice work. Nice to see someone drawing the postwar USN subs.

I would not base any drawings on the illustrations DP shows above - they are notoriously inaccurate. I would stick to the drawings in Friedman's US Subs, or from booklets of general plans.
