 127k | The Seawolf (SSN-575) in San Pablo Bay. The boat may be enroute to the Golden Gate. The bridge in the near background is the Richmond - San Rafael Bridge and the bridge in the far background is the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. The island in the center is Treasure Island and the island on the right is either Alcatraz or Angel Island. I'm not sure because of the angle of the shot. The San Francisco skyline can be seen at the upper right above the bridge. Photo probably dates from the time she converted to ocean system works from 1 Dec 70 to 8 June 1973 until her decommissioning.
