Yes he does. I just looked at it. This is not the passage I remember so I think there is yet a third account documented somewhere . The interesting thing here is that it predates the Rasher transfer by two years yet Christie said he had never heard of such an action. Also the Sculpin had external torpedo stowage as described on page 59 so the evolution of having people on deck moving torpedoes was, if not a normal operating procedure, at least an anticipated evolution. I am thinking that this was a more common occurance than most of us had thought.
