USS Tusk SS-426 1968-1969
Last of the Balao Class Boats, upgraded to GUPPY.
She had the North Atlantic type sail when I served on board as ECM tech.

Here is a link to a story about the USS Tusk and the USS Cochino. The Cochino was sunk and several men were lost from both boats. It is a New York Times link and you may have to "register" at NY Times to access it. The registration is free, at least it was when I registered. If you don't want to register or cannot for some reason, I have the story saved as a Word document file so forward me your email address and I'll attach the file and reply. The story takes place in 1949, a year after I was born.
