The USS Irex SS–482:
Photos provided by Grant Chambers, probably taken during and shortly
after the Med cruise of January 1968

This shot of the Irex in Naples harbor, with a guided missile cruiser
in the background, is probably from the 1968 Med cruise because Grant
Chambers, topside watch, is here a seaman.

Same as before, but the boat as a whole can be seen. All hatches open.

Irex in France, with French sub in background. Looks like Chambers is in
the center. One person flanking him is named Horde [other name unknown].

The Irex tied up in New London, apparently after returning from the Med
cruise of January 1968. The familiar “blow and go” tower
in the background looks like it is being deconstructed.
