Beat me too it.

The gentleman that supplied me with the photo indicated that the Victors intakes were the same.

I SPY something kinda cool! Note these two pictures of two different Oscars. In the first picture what is that louver or deflector or whatever it is behind the fourth sail window? The Oscar in the second picture doesnt have it. WHAT PRAYTELL IS IT?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Turbulator?

I SPY something unknown. In this picture of the SSN Buffalo docking in Japan, what is that? Is that a window there on the side of the sail at the top? Or is it a small side looking Sonar?

Now, look at the Hyman G. Rickover. In this view it looks like a plate. Anybody got any clues???

I believe those are port/starboard NAV lights.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I believe those are port/starboard NAV lights.

Yes..................

[greenman407]

Ok then, lights it is. Thanks

[Roddersuk]

Surely it is the snorkel connection.

[spankey]

Nope, that is a mast that gets extended from the top of the sail....the aft portion of the sail.

I SPY SOMETHING COOL! I think that this is a Mk. 48 Adcap but it looks to have a ducted fan type propullsor. Can anyone comment on this?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

The MK 48 pump-jet has changed little since the early 60's.
