MK 37 Torpedo Load

USS Torsk SS-423

June 15, 2002

On the truck, preparations are being made to lift the MK 37 over to Torsk using lifting straps. The torpedo has been stored in it's shipping container at our offsite shop, Custom Metal Products, since we picked it up in June, 2001. 

After several tests to get the balance correct, the final lift begins. 

Master Chief Boughton is on the forward tag line as the MK 37 slowly swings across to the boat. 

Almost there!
