Building the Grayback
There wasn’t any trace of one of the U.S. Navy’s assets. The Grayback’s life began on April 3rd, 1940. This was when shipbuilders laid her keel down in Groton at Connecticut’s Electric Boat Company, which was known to be in good hands as the skilled workers had been building submarines since 1899.
