Topic: GUPPY III Program


  
  Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GUPPY II conversion (SCB 47), implemented from 1947 to 1951, was generally similar to the GUPPY I, except for the retention of both periscopes and the introduction of the recently perfected snorkel.
GUPPY IB was an informal designation for a limited upgrade and modernization given to four boats for transfer to foreign navies.
The GUPPY III conversion was part of the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) program.

 Science Fair Projects - Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program
The external changes made by the first phase of the GUPPY program in 1947 improved streamlining of the bridge and shears structures, and periscope and radar mast supports.
The GUPPY II conversion, from 1947 to 1951, was generally similar to the GUPPY I except for the sail.
The GUPPY IB program, from 1953 to 1955, was another interim conversion that converted four boats for transfer to foreign navies.

 GUPPY
The program was successful, the converted submarines were capable of 18.2 kts submerged, exceeding their surfaced speed by 0.4 kts.
Certain boats, which already had the majority of the Guppy conversion work done (already Guppy II) and were in decent condition, were taken into the shipyard from 1959 to 1963, cut in half and lengthened with a new 15 foot section.
The Guppy III conversion was accomplished as a part of the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) program.

It is possible for graduate students to be quite happy with their supervisor, and less pleased with the graduate program they are in.
The first data to be examined deal with overall satisfaction with current graduate program, as shown in the figure to the left.
Satisfaction with program is lower, and varies by several factors (although disability status is a very important differentiator in both cases).

Essentially, the GUPPY I program meant streamlining exterior hull surfaces, increasing battery capacity, removal of deck guns, and compartment rearrangements.
Almost immediately after these conversions, the GUPPY II program commenced, which added the installation of a snorkel system that allowed the diesel engines to be operated while the boat was at periscope depth.
By GUPPY III conversation the boats were extended for more battery space and the sail was changed to fiberglass.

Ursinus, obviously, was not going to bend its admission standards to get that one desirable offshore field hockey recruit who might have played only a year or two, only to see her jump either jump to her country's Olympic team or to see her go back home for good.

 USS Tiru Guppy Submarine
Tiru was completed as a Guppy II in 1948, then refitted as a Guppy III in 1959.
Guppy (greater underwater propulsive power), a U.S. Navy program to upgrade the underwater speed and endurance of existing boats, was stimulated by studies of captured German Type XXI submarines.
Beginning in 1959, nine of the Guppy IIs underwent refitting as Guppy IIIs with lengthened hulls to accommodate new sonar and electronics.

The Skylab program, then, had a great immediate impact in aiding the expansion of scientific knowledge, but also offered the long-range benefit of demonstrating the importance of the continuance of the human component in the American space program.
As part of a program to investigate the possibility of creating a military base on the moon, Wernher von Braun of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, in June 1959, suggested that a necessary step in such a venture would involve first building an orbital Space Station.
While the program unquestionably yielded valuable scientific information, its greatest value came from its demonstration of the importance of the human element in the space program.

 USN Ships--USS Volador (SS-490)
Work resumed in mid-1947 to a revised design that turned her into a much improved "Guppy II" submarine, with streamlined hull and sail, more powerful electric propulsion system and a snorkel, thus greatly increasing her underwater performance.
Over the next thirteen years she made four deployments to the Western Pacific, including one during the Korean War, and one cruise to Alaskan waters, as well as maintaining a regular program of operations along the U.S. West Coast and in Hawaiian waters.
In 1962-1963 Volador was again modernized under the "Guppy III" program, which lengthened her hull and gave her up-to-date sonar and other electronic equipment.

PMN submitters are urged to have protocols and testing schemes evaluated by the New Chemicals Program prior to commencing testing on a PMN substance.
The New Chemicals Program currently uses a generic benchmark NOAEL of 75 mg/kg/day, based on a 90-day inhalation study with tri(isopropenoxy)silane, for alkoxysilanes other than methoxysilanes.
The new chemical program has thus far been concerned only with those carboxylic acid anhydrides with potentially significant inhalation exposure, and has pursued developmental toxicity only for low molecular weight (<500) carboxylic acid anhydrides which are thought to have a significant potential for systemic uptake via the lung.

Also, in what CSD described as "the start of a long range program for familiarizing Apollo suit technicians with field and launch operations," the Division reported that it had sent an Apollo suit technician to Cape Kennedy to take part in the forthcoming Gemini VI mission.
While delivering Apollo SM 009, the Pregnant Guppy aircraft was delayed at Ellington Air Force Base, Texas, for three-and-a-half days while waiting for an engine change.
In view of the delay of the SM, the incident was reviewed during the succeeding weeks, and Aero Spacelines was requested to place spare engines not only at Houston, but also at other strategic locations on the normal air route from Long Beach, Calif., to KSC.

Tiru (SS-416)—laid down on 17 April 1944 at Vallejo, Calif., by the Mare Island Navy Yard—remained in an uncompleted state for three years as a result of the curtailment of the submarine building program at the end of World War II.
In the fall of 1947, the Navy decided to complete Tiru as a "Guppy" (greater underwater propulsive power) snorkel boat.
Home-ported at Pearl Harbor and attached to Submarine Squadron (SubRon) 12, the "Guppy" submarine operated in Hawaiian waters for a year and one-half before conducting a 12-day snorkel voyage from Pearl Harbor to the west coast which ended upon her arrival at San Diego on 27 June 1950.

 History
Jim Christley has conducted extensive research on the GUPPY program and most of the information contained here is the result of his tireless efforts.  Jim writes that after the war the Navy obtained two German Type XXI boats.  These were studied and tested extensively. 
   A history of events leading up to the Guppy conversions indicates the following:  According to Christley's article, "Why is there a "Y" in GUPPY?" the two German Boats studied were the U-2513 and U-3008. 
    Included in this site is a section for each of the Guppy classes.  You can check back on the opening page for a link to each class.  There were seven major conversion types:  The Guppy I, Guppy IA, Guppy IB, Guppy II, Guppy IIA, Guppy III, and the Fleet Snorkel.
