USS Torsk Wish List
In the over 35 years since Torsk's decommissioning, many items have been removed for use on other submarines and never replaced. We are constantly searching for replacement and repair items to make Torsk as authentic as possible.
Following is a list of items we are seeking. It is by no means complete, but these are major items that are needed. If you have any of these items, or know where one can be located, please contact us at donations@usstorsk.org
Thank you!!!!!
