Submarine arriving at Camp Atterbury
| Description: |
Soldiers and civilians greet the arrival of a two-man Japanese submarine brought to Camp Atterbury, Indiana during World War II (No. 158 L). The 81-foot sub toured the United States starting from the Pacific coast, to inspire the war effort and boost sales of war bonds and stamps. The vessel was mounted on a huge truck and trailer and had its torpedoes replaced with replicas by the navy (from Camp Crier newspaper, August 13, 1943). |
