At random: USS R-6 was fitted the first prototype US submarine snorkel at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the closing months of the European part of WW II in April / May 1945 and successfully tested it off Fort Lauderdale, Fl. as the war against Japan ended in August 1945. The snorkel was removed from the USS R-6 and she was decommissioned and scrapped in September 1945.

I wonder if those grills are still on the berthing barge at EB? Then again, the one armed bandit and the soda machine made the most money for the rec committee. Friday evening BBQ raised quite a few bucks from the yard birds. Wonder if the fish house selling the lobsters is still a short trip out the gate? Then again, that was almost forty years ago.

This June it will be 40 years since I reported in to PCU USS Seahorse, where she was still on the builder's ways at EB. A week later, lined up in formation topside in dress whites, we took the E-ticket ride into the Thames.
