	USS Piper (SS-409) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		USS Piper (SS/AGSS-409), a Balao-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the piper, a fish of the halfbeak family found in warm seas mostly along the shore.
		Piper spent the period from 15 February to 24 March off the south and southeast coasts of Honshu serving alternately on independent patrol and lifeguard duty for the then intensive B-29 and carrier strikes against Japan.
		Piper arrived 15 October 1945 at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base, New London, Conn. During the next five years, Piper remained in the New London area with the exception of cruises to Nassau, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and overhauls in Portsmouth and Philadelphia Naval Shipyards.

	Cavalla Crew Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I was in the Navy for almost 8 years, about half of which was assigned to SS duty.
		Piper (SS-409) had a BQR-4a mounted high on the bow, which preserved torpedo tubes 1 & 2 (it also looked very much like the original killer class boats (K1 through K4).
		As far as I know, Cavalla's reclassification to AGSS (AGSS generally indicating an SS used primarily for development) was merely because one of the Admirals then in power was of the opinion that all submarines were hunter/killer types and the SSK classification had to be dropped.

	Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some boats with a Portsmouth Sail had an SV-radar and needed extra room to house the screen, thus had a bulge at the sail top.
		Later modifications put the SS or SS2 radars on these and other boats which had a smaller screen and had an indicator with interlocks which allowed the mast to be housed only with the screen in certain angular positions.
		Also, some GUPPY II and GUPPY III boats had their sails extended higher above the waterline, the "Northern Sail," to raise the bridge, allowing it to be manned in more severe weather.
