This page contains a scrapbook of crew photos taken over the years. These photos were submitted by CROAKER crew members or friends of Croaker who either served on board the USS Croaker (SS-246) or visited. To view any of the photos in full resolution, please click on the thumbnail view, place your mouse over the thumbnail photo for a brief discription.
We have identified shipmates in the photos where possible and we have contact information available. Please click on the link in the left navigation bar called "Roster" for the crew list.

For the time being, we are not including addresses or other information through this source – just name, rank/rate, and time aboard. If someone is on the roster you want to contact, or know of someone who should be on the roster, send an email to "Jim Adams". Word will be passed that you'd like that crewman to contact you.
