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.
