Über diesen Titel
In the summer of 1958, the USS Queenfish was not chasing enemy shipping or slipping through Pacific patrol zones. Instead, she was tied up in San Diego Harbor, carrying out the routine but necessary duties that kept the submarine force sharp. For her crew, it meant a long stretch of daily operations that rarely made headlines but defined the rhythm of Navy life. Torpedoes were offloaded, equipment was checked, and berths were shifted from one buoy to another as the boat prepared for her next assignment.
On August 25, Queenfish made her move from the North Bay to a berth between buoys 15 and 16, edging closer to the naval base and her scheduled dry docking. These movements were as much a part of the submarine’s story as any war patrol. In many ways, the quiet days in port told more about the life of a submarine sailor than the moments of combat.
