Description
English: Members of the salvage party from the U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60) use a small handy-billy pump to dewater the partially scuttled German submarine U-505 on 4 June 1944. The submarine's freeboard was extremely low at this time, with only some of her fairwater above the surface. Note the twin 20 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the seashell insignia on the fairwater's side.
