Name This Naval Vessel 2

Natuilus? Got to be her or her sister as they are the only two US subs with two deck guns.

 

Nope....Late war a lot of subs had dual 5"/25 deck guns

Keep trying. The sharks mouth on the front is what gives it away. There weren't too many of them painted on subs.

Well, I had the Balao part right........
