Summary

Description 330-PSA-237-62 (USN 711125): Scuba diver going over the side of USS Skate (SSN 587) to conduct underwater inspection after a historic rendezvous with USS Seadragon (SSN 584) under the Polar ice pack. Photograph released August 28, 1962. Master caption: The submarines surface together at the North Pole, carried out anti-submarine warfare exercises, collected scientific information, and established a new year-round submarine channel by exploring a passage through the Kennedy and Robeson Channels (between Greenland and Ellesmere Island). The two submarines proceeded to the historic meeting, operation independently, carrying out tests of electronic equipment and gathering scientific information. All tests of sonar capabilities, ASW capabilities, and underwater communications, proved highly successful. USS Skate departed on July 2, and USS Seadragon departed on July 12. (10/6/2015). Original photograph is substandard.
