The second-largest compartment on the Skipjack-class submarine was the forward torpedo room, which ran nearly 33 feet from the forward bulkhead where six torpedo tube doors jutted out, to the rear bulkhead at Frame 26. The six torpedo tube doors can be seen on the far bulkhead. Large cradles partially visible at left and right were used to move torpedoes from their storage racks for loading into the torpedo tubes.
