Ron Exell in Torsk's forward torpedo room.
Here's a fuzzy but interesting shot of Ron in the forward torpedo room on Torsk where he worked, lived, slept, etc.
GM1 W. Nickerson on USS Torsk 5 Inch Gun Barrel during the trip home after the war patrol, September 1945.
Ron says Nickerson was one of those guys who could grow a beard on a 60 day war patrol.
FC3 Hettinger on Torsk Gun - September 45, returning from war patrol.
Torsk Gun Crew.
Ron says he thinks left to right is:
S2c Flaherty, a QM he can't remember, TM2 Johnson (lost on Thresher in 1963) and TM1 Exell.
Torsk Gun Crew - September 1945 while returning from the war patrol.
Ron thinks its TM2 Johnson leaning on the barrel.
