No official photo, but here's the cover of an article on my submarine at the time (Sandy & Sandy up top);
And I'm in the lower right shot with arm and head up... neither of us were sonarmen - I was Combat Information Operations (Radar...) and Andy was a medic - but in boats you cross-train to be able to handle any and all systems to at least a level of basic competency (except radio... for security reasons).
We weren't much on uniforms at sea - mine was a bartender's jacket I traded for sumptin' in San Juan.
