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.

Subject: Eternal Patrol Report

The past few weeks Iv'e been trying to gather information to submit to Charles Hinman of Bowfin Museum and who did the r & d for the "On Eternal Patrol" web page, about the RMC(SS) who was killed on USS Bugara (SS-331) in the summer of 1956 while underway between San Diego and San Francisco. The only other person I have been able to contact who remenbers the incident was the former CO at the time who remembers the same details as I do. He's not sure and I'm fairly certain the Chiefs name was Rosecrans.

Does anyone know where/who to contact with such scant information?

Dave, if you have not already done so, go to http://www.decklog.com/ss-331.asp and click the CREW LIST button. Click the Member Login button (use your ussvi code) then click custom search. Click on the box for 1956, then submit search. It will return the names and contact info for twelve men who were aboard at that time. Maybe there is someone on that list you have not tried yet. Good Luck!
