      Greetings! What was the height of the WWII USS Narwhal from keel to the top of the conning tower? I am doing some research about the Narwhal's activities in Mindanao, Philippines. There is an account that the Narwhal 'surfaced' in Nasipit Harbor and/or docked there. I suspect she surfaced asea and then entered the harbor at first light,and the vertical dimension would be informative since the entrance to the harbor has always been narrow and shallow. Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated. Thank You, Greg May Butuan City, Philippines
