MK 37 Torpedo Load
USS Torsk SS-423
June 15, 2002
John Biesecker mans the chainfall on the left, with Tim Calvert on the one on the right. They made minor adjustments as the weapon made its way between the two skids.
A little further in. Dave Thames and Bruce Broseker watch closely as the fish comes down the skid. That's Tim Calvert in the bunk behind Bruce - no, he's not taking a nap! With the MK 14 on the skid below the bunk, it was easier to reach the chainfall on that side from up in the bunk!
A view from the bottom of the skid as the MK 37 makes its way down.
The fish has cleared the gap between the two skids and is being strapped to the receiving skid before being lowered to the deck position.
