USs Torsk "The galloping Ghost of the Japanese Coast" tied up next to the Baltimore Aquarium. I once spent a night tied up close to her aboard a sailboat after a Saturday race from Annapolis to Baltimore. This presentation is excellent. I learned a lot about US submarines. I wasn't aware that the Torsk was involved in the Cuba Bolckade. The day before JFK ordered the blockade, he sent his aides out to buy up all the H Upman Cuban Cigars they could find.

The sister ship - USS Cutlass SS-478 is still in the service in Taiwan's navy as a training/combat ship with 150m diving capability after retrofit in 2018.

As a videographer I'm always very impressed by the team/s that make these features. Good job guys!

[skookapalooza]

I toured the Torsk twice when I was a kid. It made a big impression on me. Very cool technology for way back then.

Had a friend in elementary school who was in Boy Scouts. Was invited to stay overnight on the Torsk with his troop. Got to sleep in the old school bunks and everything. Not very comfortable lol but a super memorable experience!

[SAFETYHOOD]

USS Torsk was SS-423, my father was radioman on USS SEACAT SS-399 which was one of 12 Subs that escorted the BB-63 Missouri into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender of the Japanese

Incredible!!... I took a tour of the USS Torsk back in 1986... While visiting my big brother in D.C. It was in Baltimore Harbor..where it was being moored. I went there with my nephew and he was amazed.... I spent about four hours in it and took a lot of pitures with my Kodak camera ( no smartphones back then ) I never got over how big it was!!!!

In 1980, I was attending a multi-day meeting at the Baltimore Inner Harbor, I n the Navy, I had initially qualified in subs (Sea Leopard, SS-483 ) at the Admiral's "request" as a pre-req for nuke power school. I decided to tour the Torsk over lunch. Little did I know; I ended up leading several tours of the boat for tourists. I don't know why the Torsk support staff didn't seem to have anyone available, but I totally enjoyed my 'duty', and my day..

With nothing but respect, it must be said that American Submarine captains were Christened with some pretty cool names - like movie stars of the same era.

[brucegibbins]

I'm a foreigner, not a US citizen, yet I have a strong and often also a sentimental interest in the USN.
In the seaport city where I was being raised, there were very few days when US Navy Ships were not in port.
Although now probably succumbed to the fate of all elderly, the sailors who we intermingled with as teenagers will remain forever young

[tigergb]

I was literally on Torsk about a month ago! It’s in Baltimore by the National Aquarium. You can get on it and U.S.S. Constellation with one pretty cheap payment I don’t remember

My night has been improved by a new Naval Legends episode

[alecmurray]

This has me wanting to watch Down Periscope again!

[thetankcommander]

I saw USS Torsk only once when I went to Baltimore while on a trip to Washington D.C. in 2015. But back then, I didn’t know Torsk had such a track record. The things you learn with time.

[ALPHONSE]

"A very eloquent fact that characterizes the Tench-class submarines is that one of these submarines is still in service."
ex-USS Cutlass (SS-478) now is in Taiwanese Navy ROCS Hai Shih (SS-791). It has extended its service life until 2026 (or new generation of submarine on service).

[ristube]

I live in New London CT! Crazy to hear your town randomly in videos.

[leehongjin]

Finally not a paper ship.

In case anyone wonders; a Torsk is a type of Cod. Not the prettiest fish, has a single barbel hanging from it's chin, like a overly-long goatee.

[udontknowme]

Cool Norwegian fish name.
Lots of American with it's family from Scandinavia have tasted lutefisk, bacalao and more Scandinavian dishes. Bacalao is actually a Norwegian Italian, the history of Bacalao is a really cool story.
