USS Torsk SS-423
June 6, 2009
On Friday Gil and Cathy went to Fort Belvoir, VA to pick up the Torpedo Skid that the Seabee's had welded together for us.

The skid was slightly modified from original blueprints - we split it in the middle to make it easier to handle.
It was also stripped of all parts - no rollers, blocks, etc. Once in the ATR these items will be added.

Dave works on getting the welder hooked up to ships power.
Up forward, the Seabee's are prepping the steel for welding.
