DAY 2

 

 

Before heading out to the fleet on Thursday, Frank Palmer presented a framed picture of USS Seawolf SSN-575 to Roger Warden in appreciation of his help when Frank broke his leg on the last Strip Ship. We're happy to report Frank survived both days this time with no injuries!!

 

 

Gil, Larry, Mike and Matt went to Orion on the crane barge to offload the parts, while the rest of the gang headed to the Walker to start work on board her.
