This photo is associated with the Sealion Article. According the the article the Sealion was scuttled in the Cavite Navy yard after its bombardment in October 1941, and it is not listed in the above submarines, though it is of the same type.

Thanks for pointing that out. We had linked this photo to the wrong Sealion this one is SS-315, not SS-195. This has been corrected!

I have been looking for this exact picture for weeks now. I want to get a framed copy of this image as a gift for my father. Do you know where I could buy this pint? Thank you for your time!
