Thanks for the post, Ron. I have known quite a few father and son service in boats over the years but never one as impressive as this family contribution to the submarine service.

We had a father / son duo on Flasher. The son was second class radioman and the father was one of the best cooks I've seen.
We also a brother duo aboard; seaman and first class ET.
