Historical Note
The second Grenadier (SS-525) was laid down by Boston Naval Shipyard, Boston, Mass., 8 February 1944; launched 10 February 1951; sponsored by Mrs. John A. Fitzgerald, wife of the first Grenadier's last skipper; and commissioned the same day, Comdr. Henry G. Reaves in command. One of the first "Guppy" submarines, Grenadier was equipped with a snorkel to permit indefinite running in an awash condition.
Grenadier departed New London 3 January 1956 on the first of several Mediterranean cruises. Between these cruises, the submarine participated in exercises along the East Coast and was a frequent visitor to Caribbean waters.
