my father, Richard MacLauchlin, was the First Class Quartermaster on this sub and has told me many stories about this patrol. He is living in Stockbridge Georgia, is 89 and is sharp as a tack. He remembers alot about his duty on this sub and I will welcome any comments from those interested from hearing from a sub warrior. I can be contacted at Maclauchlin@aol.com. my name is Pete.
