Efforts To Salvage Sunk Sub Told By Sailor Son
A letter from Frank Els Pepin, Machinists Mate 2/c, describes the sinking of a submarine during a forward training voyage. He and 14 ships searched for survivors after two subs, one with six men on deck washed overboard, went down about 600 feet. Two Brazilian officers were aboard. The crew stayed near the area for days, then withdrew for fuel and supplies, returning to the salvage area as weather allowed. He notes limited salvage progress, several salvage ships, and uncertain timing for return to base. He plans for exams and possible transfer, and laments washing clothes by hand.
