Re: Crew: USS Growler (SS-215)

Hi Jeff:

Have you ever read "Kangaroo Express" by Richard J. Lanigan? It's all about the
USS GROWLER (SS-215). I noticed the name of Lloyd B. Maness CEM (COB?) on your
listing. You've read about the USS SQUALUS (SS-192) that sunk off Portsmouth, NH
in 1939. He was the 2nd-class electrician that shut the forward engine room WT door in order to save part of the crew. There are several photos in this book that your grandfather would enjoy seeing.

I think the book may still available at amazon.com or abebooks.com.

Regards,

ROBERT M.
