Please check out my personal photo pages about Uncle
Vic and the USS Snook, via the links to the left. Other selected links of interest are below. If you find a "broken" link or
know of any others that should be added to my site, please let me know. I hope you enjoy.
--- Vic
"One of the top-scoring U.S. subs of World
War II, the record of USS Snook (SS-279) stands high within the fraternity known as 'The Silent Service.' During
her nine aggressive war patrols against the Japanese, Snook sank 19 vessels totaling nearly 74,000 tons of enemy ships.
Another 13 vessels suffered damage inflected by her torpedoes. Less than five months before the end of WWII, Snook
disappeared without a trace, taking a brave and seasoned crew of eighty-four to their watery graves."
--- Rick Cline (Author of Final Dive)
If you have a family member, who was lost aboard the USS Snook,
please email me at the address on the bottom of this page.
I would love to add your photos and stories to my site...

Updates
The George Olson Page has been updated with new photos.
I am planning a trip to Groton this fall. To all, who I've been in contact with, I will take photos
at the Wall of Honor (Names, etc.) and email them to you. To anyone "new" visiting this page: If you have lost
a loved one on Snook, please email me so I'll be sure to include "him" in my photos.
