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.

Seattle and Bremerton Bases participated in the 54th Annual Veterans Day Parade in Auburn, Wash.
The day started off cold and drizzly but that finally stopped by the time the parade began.
The color guard for the sub vets were a current submarine qualified woman, Chief Petty Officer Davis, from an active duty submarine and Seattle Bases' own 94 year old WWII veteran Ralph Sterley.
In the second photo 95 year old WW II Paul Christopherson (with the walker) walked the whole parade. Men made from sturdy stuff! If you look closely in some of the other photos you can see Paul marching down the street!
