At random: USS R-6 was fitted the first prototype US submarine snorkel at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the closing months of the European part of WW II in April / May 1945 and successfully tested it off Fort Lauderdale, Fl. as the war against Japan ended in August 1945. The snorkel was removed from the USS R-6 and she was decommissioned and scrapped in September 1945.

The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.  

I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate. 

KRUG .. .. .. Westhampton, MA - Daniel (Danny)B. Krug, Jr. of Westhampton died unexpectedly, June 15, 2025 at age 76. He was the first son born to Daniel B. Krug, Sr and Jessie Snow Krug. He graduated from Williamsburg (Burgy) High school in 1968 and went on to Springfield Technical Institute and Hobart welding school. During the Vietnam era, he enlisted in the navy becoming a submarine fireman on the USS Dogfish. Afterward, he took a hitchhiking tour across the states with an extended time in Alaska. Most of his employment was with the Veterans Hospital of Leeds where he retired as stationary engineer. 

Danny had many, varied interests, always researching, learning and applying his knowledge. Younger years were spent in 4-H, working Krug's sugarbush, member and officer of the Western Massachusetts Model T and Model A Antique Car clubs, and in recent years, on the board of the Westhampton Historical Commission devoting countless hours to the Westhampton Museum & Blacksmith Shop. In other spare time, he would craft knives, wooden stir sticks, hammers, and machine parts/tools, garden, hunt or fish. 

Through the years, he has been a caring, thoughtful son, brother, friend and uncle. 

Krug leaves behind his mother Jessie, two sisters, Diane (husband and friend Geoff Browne), Deborah (husband Tom Root), brother Donald (Whitey), nephews William (Will) Krug, Shaun and Christopher Root, Travis Browne and nieces Nicole (Niki) Browne and Elizabeth (Beth) Chudzik and also Jason Dodge. He is preceded in death by his father. 

A family only service is pending with burial in the Westhampton Cemetery.
