Yep, last torp sent and last ship sunk. Believe it or not, they used a "cutie". We have one set up in the tube that fired it. We had to ask the Navy permission to load the torp in for display, they gave us the OK. So, check into the work weekend. Plan now. Maybe just make the trip yourself. I do not know your wife/kids situation. My kids will come down with me every now and then. My wife does not. It is like a night out playing poker with the boys but it takes place every Saturday morning with rags and paint:rotfl: Lucky for us, the Torsk goes to dry dock at the Marine Terminals. She is going next year. The ship workers sandblast and add hull plates were she is getting thin in the skin. Then fresh paint and a tug will pull her back to her berth. We do enjoy some nice things from the city concerning the Torsk.
