In the 1950s, my father was stationed as the submarine base in San Diego as part of Squadron III. He served as the medical officer on board the submarine tender USS Sperry (AS-12) as part of Squadron III. I have seen other plaques for Squadron III and they feature a single dolphin in the lower right quarter of the plaque. This is definitely a Submarine Squadron II plaque, as the other three quarters all match. I just do not know what the “32” signifies on mine. The walnut plaque measures 11″ high and 9 3/4″ wide at the widest point. The brass plaque itself measures 5 1/2″ high by 4 1/4″ wide. Squadron Three was deactivated July 1, 1945 and reactivated in Guam on October 1, 1945. The United States built a fleet of diesel-electric submarines during the war and. Commissioned a new submarine tender, USS Sperry (AS-12). In February, 1946 the squadron moved to San Diego. Submarine Squadron Three continued to serve until March 31, 1995, when it was again deactivated. USS Key West (SSN-722). The walnut base is in near perfect condition; brass plaque with dolphins is in very good condition. My father was a USN Captain in the Submarine Service. He taught at the New London Sub School, ran the Experimental Diving Unit at the Navy Yard in S. And developed the Workman M-Values for deep sea deep dive decompression medicine. He performed the decompression dive tables on site for Project Genesis, Sealab I and Sealab II. He received the Legion of Merit from Admiral Brown, was awarded the NOGI Award for Science, and inducted into the Commercial Diving Hall of Fame. In his honor, I constructed a WW II sub museum in my downtown Dallas warehouse over a 30 year period by collecting and displaying many cool items like this one.
