Torsk Work Weekend 18
September 30 - October 2, 2011
Hanging out in Crews Mess after the cookout.
Time for some sea stories!
Tom and John listening to the stories
Rig for Red!
On Sunday we had a special visitor - Ervin
Schmidt RM1, a Torsk Plankowner.
Ervin is in the Radio Room where he spent both war patrols aboard Torsk.
Erv has an interesting history - he was aboard the USS California when it was sunk at Pearl Harbor,
and he was aboard Torsk when she fired the final shot of the war.
Erv and Greg in Crew's Berthing
Erv was one of the first RM's aboard Torsk when she commissioned in 1944
Greg was one of the last RM's aboard when Torsk decommissioned in 1968!
