DescriptionBlack and white photograph by United Press International (UPI) photographer Frank Lorenzo with typed caption.

Caption: HFP072903-7/29/60-GROTON, CONN.: The crew (white uniforms) line the dock during the Commissioning ceremony for the nuclear powered submarine Scorpion, 7/29, at the General Dynamics Shipyard in Groton. The whale shape of the new generation of attack submarines leaves little room for the crew to line the deck of the sub as has been normal in the past. UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL TELEPHOTO fl
