Product Description

The next step in the evoltion of World War 2 submarine design, the Tench was more strongly built and with a slightly improved internal layout. Initial plans called for 146 to be built, but 115 were cancelled in 1944 and 1945 when it became apparent that they would not be needed to defeat Japan. The remaining 31 were commissioned between October 1944 (Tench) and February 1951 (Grenadier).

Two Tench Class submarines are on display for the general public. One is the USS Requin (SS-481) at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA. The other is the USS Torsk (SS-423), moored at Pier Three, Baltimore's Inner Harbor, (alongside the National Aquarium in Baltimore) in Maryland.

The framed size is 22.5" wide by 8.5" high.

Natural Basswood finish (as pictured) is mounted on a Baltic Blue matte and surrounded by a rich cherry finish frame.

Brass and Silver finishes are mounted on a black matte within a black frame which gives a very contemporary look.
