GREAT Thread.

Wish my father-in-law had computer access so he could see this.

I've mentioned before that he served aboard the USS Tinosa (SS-283).

One of his sea stories he shared with us in April - While on patrol he was the first to spot an enemy ship while standing watch. For his efforts, the Skipper gave him a bottle of whiskey. Being a non-drinker, he stowed it away in his seachest. Somewhere along the line, someone stole the whiskey.

I remember you telling us about your FIL.

I've been on both a German and US WWII sub(U-505 and USS Silversides).

My hat's off to your FIL, I could never have made it on a sub.
