LOL :rotfl: , check the Torsk website, there are some photos there with the Torsk and her prop guards. For example: The 1948 dockphoto: http://www.usstorsk.net/photoalbum/4...l/tpic4801.htm

1952 New London and Med cruise: http://www.usstorsk.net/photoalbum/52daly/tpic522.htm

1960: Med Tour:

So, where did you put them? Who stole the off the boat? :hmm:

groetjes,

Funny part is I went looking for pictures after I typed that and could not find any:rotfl:. I stand corrected. They are certainly gone and do not know were they are. Do you have them? :rotfl: I'm thinking perhaps removed in drydock when the hull was repaired years ago. Possible rusted to badly for repair. A lot of history of the old girl I do not know.
