Subject: 4-29/30 history

4-29-1944 USS Barbero was commissioned into service with Lieutenant Commander Irvin S. Hartman in command.

4-29-1946 Apogon was decommissioned from service.

Atlantic 04/29/86: The USS Atlanta (SSN-712) runs aground in the Strait of Gibraltar, damaging sonar gear and puncturing a ballast tank in the bow section. Navy officials stress that no radiation leaked from the nuclear reactor and no crew members were injured. The vessel limps to Gibraltar for repairs, with water entering through holes in the ballast tank.

Pacific 04/29/88: The USS Sam Houston (SSN-609) runs aground in Carr Inlet off the southeast tip of Fox Island in Puget Sound, Washington, while operating in shallow water to determine how quiet the vessel is in water. The submarine is freed the next day by four tugs and the USS Florikan (ASR-9) while the submarine's 142-man crew remains aboard. The submarine suffers minor damage to exterior hull equipment.
