Rob Flory:
Not much to tell.......
As a first class Torpedoman I stood my underway watches on the starboard aft side of the bridge. I manned the MK. 27 Torpedo Directors and the depth charge release mechanism for the depth charge racks located on the fantail.
Other than that, I assisted the Signalmen with their flag hoists. I just watched
them use the infra-red equipment at close hand.
Did you ride "greyhounds" or the "boats" during WWII?
Have a nice day,
ROBERT M.
