⚓🇺🇸Ever wonder what it takes to overhaul a nuclear-powered submarine?

It takes massive industrial power—and the electronic industrial controls mechanics who keep it all online. From the giant waterfront cranes lifting multi-ton components to the high-precision CNC machinery fabricating critical parts, these mechanics maintain the digital nervous system of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

They bring the technical grit required to support the Navy’s undersea dominance.

Eighty-nine years ago, on Aug. 24, 1937, the Salmon-class submarine USS Snapper (SS 185) launched into the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. ⚓️🇺🇸

Commissioned on Dec. 16, 1937, Snapper made history as the first submarine constructed at a U.S. government navy yard with an all-welded steel hull.

Snapper went on to serve in 11 war patrols in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, earning six battle stars for her service.
