Admiral Nimitz decorates officers and sailors aboard the submarine, USS Bowfin, in Guam, during World War II

View from conning tower of the submarine, USS Bowfin, in Apra Harbor, Guam, during World War 2. Officers and crew of the USS Bowfin stand in formation on the foredeck. With his back to the camera, Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, stands at a microphone, reading a citation. He then steps forward to decorate Commander Alexander Kelly Tyree with the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Bowfin (SS-287), on the Seventh War Patrol of that submarine during the period 25 January 1945 to 25 March 1945. Admiral Nimitz then proceeds to decorate other officers and sailors of the Bowfin, as Navy photographers take photographs. The Admiral with two officers and a sailor hold hand salutes a while as the ceremony is finishing. Admiral Nimitz then steps from the Bowfin, across another submarine docked next to it, and down to his launch. He salutes, as the launch pulls away. (Another view of Nimitz stepping into his launch is inserted here, as well.) Glimpse of the officers back on the Bowfin. (Note: Commander Tyree subsequently received a Gold Star in lieu of a Second Navy Cross, following the War Patrol of the Bowfin from 29 May 1945 to 4 July 1945.)

The submarine USS Bowfin engaged in surface gunnery practice off Guam in World War II

Near the end of World War 2, U.S. submarines were being refitted with extra guns and undertook more surface combat operations. Here, the USS Bowfin (SS-287) is seen in surface training activities off Guam, during May,1945. Its armament now includes (in addition to its original 4-inch/50 caliber deck gun) a Bofors 40mm aft of the conning tower and an Oerlikon 20mm cannon forward of it. As the Bowfin heads out, its deck gun is seen. Next, in a view from the conning tower fairwater, looking aft, the Bofors 40mm autocannon can be seen below. Scene shifts forward and then to side, where deck gun barrel is seen at extreme right of image. It fires at distant target boat. More views of targets being fired upon by autocannons and deck gun. Smoke rising from struck target. Sequence ends with the Bowfin firing a few rounds on its way back to Apra Harbor.
