Post link to Facebook post by Dave Beck in ths USSVI group (with pictures) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1390786715365311 New post from USSVI: January 31, 2026 Richard C. Hedman, "Ric" as he was universally known, lost his valiant battle with cancer at 1:00 pm PST. He was the founder of Pig Boats ( https://pigboats.com/index.php?title=Main_Page ). A USN veteran submariner and historian. This website covers the early history of the United States Navy Submarine Service. It was created in 1998 by Ric Hedman as a photographic essay about United States Navy submarines beginning with the year 1900 and working up to and through the year 1941. The World War II era has been extensively covered by other sites and in many excellent books, so we drew the line at the last boats built before the war started. There are some detours into later eras, but the emphasis remains on the early years. Shipmate rest your oars, your watch is done. Edited by Coyote 2026-02-02 8:07 AM | ||
