USS Silversides SS-236

WOW, as I sit here drinking my missisippi mud (Army slang for coffee). I am wondering how many cups of joe were served on board her during her war patrols. Those must have been some hair raising events, especially being DC'd. As a combat vet that has been shot at, I can only imagine. Thanks for the awesome pictures, less we forget the sacrafice's of all those before us. It was real! It's just not a game we all play and love.

The Silversides has come a very long way from when I saw her as a kid.
The restorers have done her an honor befitting her record. Thanks for posting these pictures.
