If you look close, the Jack Staff was bent from that first big wave!!! |

| This is the third photo in a series of three photos and this one was sent to us by shipmate Phil Dilloway who was Officer of The Deck that day. Shipmate Bill Massingale also sent the same photo and keeps it on his wall at home. The Three Photos were placed in the National Archives in 1952. This is when we walked on the Bulkheads and the Decks and what an Elevator Ride it was.!! Sub Duty was never this rough!! Tin Can Sailors earn their Sea Pay!! |
