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...

Update
The USS Snook Memorial page has been updated with comments and email address of Jim Converse, who visited the memorial
in Little Rock and contacted me. Jim was kind enough to send photos of the memorial, which is in a new location, since
my visit. The photos are not on display yet.

New Family Member!
Delmer Crawford's great-niece, Jennifer Rath, has emailed me! You can see the updates for his page

address.

My Apologies!
Due to a family medical problem, I had to cancel my trip to Groton! I'm sorry I was not able to get the photos
I promised.
I don't know when I will be getting up that way...
