One of those is of Captain Fyfe, however it was not taken onboard the Batfish, I wish there was someway we could get them to change the labeling to say it is Capt. Fyfe.

I recognize this one...

It's been used in a sub game before - the back of the box of the original Silent Hunter game, if I remember correctly.

It is also on the cover of the Time book "War Under The Pacific" which is pretty cool. however they do not credit it with being Capt. Fyfe.
