I have the entire set of WWII patrol reports from the man who runs the USS Sealion link up above.

Expensive, but well worth it!

Nice!!

A little off topic, but this is as cool as when I found the war diaries of my Grandfather's unit in the 1st big war.

The USS BARBARINNA is at sea, and here are her logo, emblem, and the captain's new girlfriend (Lucky me!).

Logo: Drawing of woman and Japanese soldiers made by an artist in the 1940s (hair color modified by Gunfighter) combined with a torpedo designed by the Gunfighter. Periscope effect added by I'm Goin' Down using tools from Photobucket.
Emblem: Compliments of Digitial_Trucker
Girlfriend: Drawing made by an artist in the 1940s.

Here is a Photo from the Demolition Crew of USS Barb:

Electricians Mate 3rd Class Billy R. Hatfield, USNR;
Signalman 2nd Class Francis N. Sever, USNR;
Ships Cook 1st Class Lawrence W. Newland, USN;

They've sent out their cook?

All volunteers.

The cook? Of course! If they were spotted and had to retreat inland the cook could make Miso soup, sushi, and seaweed salad! Toss in a little Kirin beer, and they would be on the run living the high life.

Maybe they sent the cook 'cause he was complaining about not doing anything except cook.

Best way to treat a squeaky wheel. Give 'em the gears.

They sent the cook because the captain and crew could not stand his cooking. They thought he might get shot.

You are all wrong.
Because only Cooks kick ass and take names.
