USN:
Puritan-class monitor USS Puritan (BM-1) fitting out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It is unclear when this photo was taken as she was launched in 1882 and took a ridiculous 14 years and 4 days to be commissioned. Congress back then wasn't authorizing any construction of new ships so the Navy had to pretend they were "rebuilding" the Civil War era monitor USS Puritan. However, they weren't- they were building a new ship. The process was significantly extended because the fundamentals of her design changed on several occasions.

Future USS Monadnock on the ways, circa 1880's. Curiously, her hull was built at the Greenpoint Brooklyn Yard of the Continental Iron Works then broken down and shipped west by rail in sections. She was reassembled by Phineas Burgess on Mare Island (seen here), the only ship he built.

USS Tirante (SS-420) on the surface during the 1950s

USS Tirante was a Tench-class submarine commissioned in November, 1944. She is perhaps best known for an incident during her first war patrol, when on April 15, 1945, she penetrated a shallow harbor at what is now known as Jeju City, and sank a Japanese transport and two of her escorts in an action that her captain, Lt. Cdr. George Street would be awarded the Medal of Honor, one of only seven submariners to be so decorated for her actions during the Second World War. Tirante would be credited with sinking 8 Japanese ships amounting to 15,886 tons of shipping in a time noted for a scarcity of targets.

The submarine would be laid up in reserve in 1946, but was later chosen as one of the 52 submarines modernized by the US Navy under the Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program, being converted to the GUPPY IIA configuration. Recommissioned in November, 1952, Tirante would spend the rest of her career operating in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean until being decommissioned in October, 1974 and being sold for scrap the following year.
