USS Lionfish SS298

We will be celebrating Thanksgiving here in the United States once again this week.

Even in the very small galley aboard a US Navy submarine, the ship's cooks did their very best to ensure a little bit of home was aboard every boat with a Thanksgiving dinner for the crew.

A tasty dinner with your shipmates was something to be thankful for even though you were not home.

Here the cook on USS Bowfin SS-287 prepares a meal in the galley.

Today on 1 May 1945 with LIONFISH:

Operating enroute to southern part of Area 12.

At 1230, destroyed by gunfire a three-masted schooner of 100 tons. It was loaded with lumber and logs. Fires were burning merrily when we shoved off.

Sighted small PC Type patrol craft at 1845 and avoided on the surface.
