Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Periscope Depth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - USS Key West off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii with masts and antennas raised at periscope depth.
Reason
This image provides a relatively rare look at a submerged submarine from an aerial source. This is only possible in certain portions of the world and in certain weather conditions. The image is especially helpful in the Los Angeles class submarine article, as it provides a good look at certain features of the class.

Creator
Image was uploaded to commons by Protonk (talk), but I am not the image creator. The image was created by a military member and forwarded to us (I was stationed on the Key West at the time) via ComSubPac (our bosses). The image was reduced in size in photoshop so it could be emailed (note the meta-data).
