<HTML>Salmon connection:
In 1965 I was serving on Andrew Jackson Blue Crew. Our new Supply Officer, LT. John Borglund, had a ton of WWII medals and a war patrol pin. He was a very quiet until one night during upkeep in Rota Spain. He had been ashore with the wardroom and came back to the boat with quite a load on. He came into the crews mess for coffee and asked, "any of you guys ever hear about the Salmon?" Turns out Borglund was the Chief Hospital Corpsman on her last run you are talking about in this thread. He gave us all the details and then some. Seems most of the crew thought they wouldn't get out of this situation including him, so he broke out all the medicinal alcohol and passed it out through-out the boat. The boat did survive and was decommisioned as unrepairable. In that medicinal alcohol is "accountable", during decomissioning he wrote it off as destroyed during the depth charging. The entire crew was transferred to the new construction boat USS Stickleback (SS-415) at Mare Island. He was our battle stations diving officer and a very cool customer.</HTML>
