AT SEA SUBMARINE ALARMS, USS SHARK and USS LAFAYETTE
The USS Shark, being constructed in the early days of Nuclear Submarines and close to the end of Fleet and Guppy-2A Submarine operations, had the Diving, Collision and General  Alarms that were typical to Diesel Submarines of that era. The Shark did not originally have a Reactor Casualty Alarm installed. As Shark was a Fast Attack Submarine she carried no missiles, nor Missile Emergency and Jettison Alarms.

With the construction and commissioning of the USS Lafayette, SS(B)N 616, a new series of alarms were introduced. The Shark may have been outfitted with newer sounding alarms at a shipyard deployment.
