Retired Diesel Submarines

Acclaimed Naval Artist George Bieda has done profiles for literally hundreds of the retired diesel boats. We only have website images for a few, but the available prints are all listed under the respective ship class. Each profile drawing is complete with ship's patch, builder's plaque, dolphin pins, commissioning pennant, and ship's statistics, like the images of the USS Pickerel and USS Growler that you'll find below. When ordering, don't forget to select your specific ship, print size, and framing options!

We also offer a terrific work featuring the USS Wahoo in action. Scroll down to the Gato Class boats for a view.

Gato Class Attack Submarines

"Remember the Wahoo" by Mark Karvon

As a tribute to the 80 officers and men of USS Wahoo SS 238 who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country on 11 OCT 1943, MarK Karvon offers this work. USS Wahoo, under the con of her second captain, Dudley "Mush" Morton became famous for her successes against Japanese shipping and naval vessels. The exact whereabouts of WAHOO remained a mystery until 2006, when she was found in the La Perouse Strait off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, lying in about 210 feet of water. She remains there today, "on eternal patrol." This realistic portrayal of this Gato Class diesel boat is offered in two sizes, signed by the artist. Prints are produced by high quality giclee printers on heavy-weight, acid-free archival stock.
