Torsk Work Weekend 16
October 1-4, 2009
On Friday, the crew finished needle gunning the forward deck area, and applied the coat of primer to the steel.
The BQR2B sonar console and MK45 torpedo nose and tail were delivered. The sonar console was loaded into the FTR and the BQR7 was removed from the boat, to be sent to the shop for storage on Saturday morning.
A shot of Stewburner working on the forward deck on Friday.
Saturday morning, Gil delivered the battery section and after body of the MK45.
The crew loaded it on board, and the BQR7 was offloaded.
Stewburner gives the MK45 battery section a little extra push at the top of the gangway!
Breakfast on Chesapeake.
Rich is the latest living history exhibit on Chesapeake!!
