At random: "I saw the submariners, the way they stood aloof and silent, watching their pigboat with loving eyes. They are alone in the Navy. I admired the PT boys. And I often wondered how the aviators had the courage to go out day after day and I forgave their boasting. But the submariners! In the entire fleet they stand apart!” -- James Michener

While I was talking to another "Tusk" vet on the phone I mentioned this book to him since it was written by Ken (Pig) Henry (former Tusk COB) and Don Keith. Until now (CRS) I didn't know parts of it can be read here: http://books.google.com/books?id=urVWkHHEVhAC&dq=gallant+lady&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=Pv3tQ3L9fG&sig=MuIN36qR4xZRQYRJUTS-A3IjFdI&hl=en&ei=KqxwStM9k7CyA92KkO4I&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=13

Take a look, you'll be glad you did.

I also have a copy and it is autographed by Ken; I met him in Saratoga at the USSVI convention. Great read and I remember a lot of the places he described in New London and elsewhere. The book is absolutely fascinating.

I am crushed... NTINS... you know by our code that if it starts with that qualifier then it must be true. If you still have doubt, we have pictures to support almost every story in that book. Years ago, nobody believed the goat on the boat story until the pictures surfaced.
