Thank you. Brought back memories. 62&63, Torpedo Retriever,72 ftfUsualllly only on testing bay, Dabob Bay. One trip working liaison with Canadian Navy, Nanaimo B.C.. Only time we used the sleeping quarters, galley, etc. Was 1 or 2 weeks, memories of a lifetime in that short time. Had no idea later on I would be Gunners Mate on discharge. Your video revived forgotten memories..Fair Winds Mates.
