"Kittery Naval Shipyard workers who helped on
the overhaul of the submarine USS Torsk SS 423,
together with their families, were guests of the crew and officers of the sub
at an open house
held aboard the vessel Thursday evening at her pier. Following are pictures
taken during the tour
of the underseas ship."

Women touring the sub Torsk get a chance to see
how difficult it is
to dispose of garbage from a submarine.
Looking over a garbage disposal unit,
which was compared in
complexity of operation
to a miniature torpedo tube, are Mrs. Henry E. Cote and Donald
E. Morton SN, USN.
