At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

I never received it. Thanks for the posting. He was not in submarines during WWII. He reported to USS Sea Poacher (SS-406) as S2c on 7/7/1948. Didn't find anything else about him

My old Seadragon sea-daddy was a buddy of Mark's and told a bunch of stories. One was that Mark wore a mustache but shaved it off each New Year's morning and started over.

RIP, Mark
