In this image we see the moment of impact when a torpedo from Puffer (SS-268), a Gato-class submarine, strikes a Japanese ship. Besides the small diameter head attack periscope, the Gato class originally had a large diameter search periscope with a wide-angle view. Like the attack periscope, it could be elevated to observe the sky around the submarine. (US Navy)

The importance of selecting the right men on submarines as lookouts appears in this passage from a US Navy manual: ‘Every effort shall be made to pick the best men possible for this duty, and their training shall be carefully supervised . . . All bridge personnel shall be tested for night vision and none showing unsatisfactory night vision shall be so employed.’ (US Navy)
