Defenders of America. The USS Albacore was designed as a fast moving highly maneuverable submarine whose shape is based on the structure of a fish or whale. Built by the Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Albacore is the submarine design of the future. Combined with the nuclear power plant that has proven successful in the NAUTILUS, this new idea in submarines will be apparent in the submarine SKIPJACK now being constructed. The length of the ALBACORE is 204 ft. and her speed, the fastest of any submarine in the world, is over 20 knots submerged. This is No. 2 of a series of twenty-four cards, each illustrating and describing a different weapon or piece of equipment in the NABISCO Shredded Wheat "Defenders of America" series. Each of these cards is a full detailed reproduction of an official United States Army, Navy and Air Force or Marine photograph. One of these official photograph reproductions is packed in each package of Nabisco Shredded Wheat. Get the entire set by eating Nabisco Shredded Wheat regularly and trading with your friends |
