This painting of USS Topeka SSN754, Los Angeles
Class submarine, was presented to the US Navy
at the commissioning of the submarine on October 21 1989. It now hangs in
Topeka's wardroom.
Topeka was built at General Dynamics, Electric
Boat Division and is Homeported in Pearl Harbor, HI.
Topeka's motto is:
"Defender
of the Heartland".
The artist, William H. RaVell III, knew the
boat well as he was a Senior Electrical
Planner at General Dynamics.
Unfortunately no prints have ever been made of this artwork.
