USS Bucara
This overhead view of the Bugara (SS-331) was taken during torpedo practice firings off Panama Bay in January 1945. The torpedo retrieving davits are rigged, which are used for hauling the practice torpedo out of the water. The torpedos float to the surface after their run due to air in the nose of the “fish”. Torpedos with warheads mounted sink if they fail to make contact with a target.
