 | 85k | The Haddock (SSN-621) was sponsored by Mrs. Thomas G. Morris, wife of Representative Morris of New Mexico. Morris served aboard the Sealion (SS-195) just prior to WW II. His replacement on the Sealion as well as two of his buddies were killed when the Sealion was bombed at Cavite Naval yard in the Philippines in December of 1941. | Text courtesy of DANFS & legacy.com.

1.63k | AP wire-photo of the 14 June 1964 of the fire involving the Nuclear Submarine Haddock (SSN-621) under construction at the facilities of Ingalls Shipbuilding. The fire started alongside the slipways and spread to the shoring underneath before entering the sub midships causing extensive damage. The fire was caused by an explosion in a paint storage shed. | Text & image courtesy of Harley Flowers courtesy of flickr.com. | |

3.29k | Undated PR photo showing upper north part of Ingalls Shipbuilding. The ship in the far background appears to be the future Tripoli (LHA-7) (if it were the Inchon (LPH/MCS-12), there would be a concrete slab visible across the river for the new West Bank yard) I am thinking early spring of 1966. On the ways in the foreground are the future Cleveland (LPD-7) and Dubuque (LPD-8) (There were 10 construction Ways aka slipways, the white buildings were headhouses which served as office and record keeping space). At way No. 1 covered with quanset hut looking structures was the future Haddock (SSN-621). Haddock had been delayed by a fire in June of 1964. | Text & image courtesy of Harley Flowers courtesy of flickr.com. | |

 | 55k | The Haddock (SSN-621) with an escort of dolphins off her bow, during her sea trials in the Gulf Of Mexico, circa 1967. The two men in the sail are Lt JG Vaughn and TM3 Thornton on the plank. Actually, we'd been out once from Pascagoula, MS for about a week and had a problem doing high speed maneuvers (angles and dangles) near the end of the trials. I was on the planes in the control room when the problem occurred. Exciting! We went back to the shipyard to figure out and fix the problem. As I recall, this was our second time out … may have even been coming out of Mobile, Alabama this time. Lt Vaughn and I watched the plane as the pilot circled many times to try to time his pass to be in sync with the 3 dolphins (actually porpoises of course) intermittently surfing the bow wave. The sounds and smells and joy of life come back to me even today, 39 years later. When the photographer on the plane got this photo he was holding on to a right wing strut with his left hand and his camera with his right hand – all the while hanging out of the plane with his feet just touching inside the plane's cockpit. The pilot almost stalled the plane in a slow upward movement so the photo could be taken. Then the plane tipped forward and downward. It began to fall toward the sea. The pilot poured the coal to it and pulled up about a 100 feet above the water and flew away. Mr. Vaughn, a good man, and I actually laughed together about seeing such a thing and hoping that the photographer got the shot. | Official USN photo courtesy of Wendell Royce McLaughlin Jr. Text courtesy of Wayne Thornton, plank owner. | |

 | 74k | Canal eye view as the Haddock (SSN-621) exits the Caribbean-side locks of the Panama Canal and transits Lake Gatun in central Panama to the Pacific-side locks, around January-February 1968. A new experience for this denizen of the deep to slice fresh water! The sailors aboard remember seeing natives in the jungle along the Lake wearing only a few strands clothing on them; living in what appeared to be huts made of branches and covered with fronds. An unexpected and foreign sight for sure." | Courtesy of Gerald W. Van Iwaarden, plankowner. Text courtesy of W.B. Thornton. | |
