Submarine Tour on the USS Torsk (SS 423) Baltimore MD (A Day in the LIfe # 242)
On this Day in the Life I continue my Warships tour in Baltimore Harbor with the USS Torsk.
The Torsk (SS-423) is a Tench-class submarine built for the United States Navy during World War II. Armed with ten torpedo tubes, the Tench-class submarines were incremental developments of the highly-successful Gato-class submarines that formed the backbone of the US Navy's submarine force during the war. Torsk was laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in June 1944, and was launched in September of that year. She was commissioned in December of that year.
In 1945, Torsk made two war patrols off Japan, sinking one cargo vessel and two coastal defense frigates. The latter of these, torpedoed on 14 August 1945, was the last enemy ship sunk by the United States Navy in World War II. Decommissioned in 1964, she served for another seven years as a training vessel for the Naval Reserve. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in December 1971 and turned over to the state of Maryland for use as a museum ship. She is now part of the historic fleet of Historic Ships in Baltimore.

Por dentro de um submarino de guerra em Baltimore
USS Torsk (SS-423) is a Tench-class submarine built for the United States Navy during World War II. Armed with ten torpedo tubes, the Tench-class submarines were incremental developments of the highly-successful Gato-class submarines that formed the backbone of the US Navy's submarine force during the war. Torsk was laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in June 1944, was launched in September that year, and commissioned in December.
In 1945, Torsk made two war patrols off Japan, sinking one cargo vessel and two coastal defense frigates. The latter of these, torpedoed on 14 August 1945, was the last enemy ship sunk by the United States Navy in World War II. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, she operated primarily as a training vessel; she also went on deployments to the Mediterranean Sea and helped to train elements of the Atlantic Fleet in anti-submarine tactics. Decommissioned in 1964, she served for another seven years as a training vessel for the Naval Reserve. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in December 1971 and turned over to the state of Maryland for use as a museum ship.

WWII Submarine U.S.S. Torsk Full Tour
The USS Torsk (SS-423) is part of the historic fleet of Historic Ships in Baltimore and is one of two Tench Class submarines still located inside the United States. It is nicknamed the Galloping Ghost of the Japanese Coast.
For many years it was customary to name U.S. submarines for fish, although this custom no longer exists. World War II submarines were named for everything that swam, from Albacore to Whale. The Torsk got its name from a gadoid fish, allied to the codfish, which is found in the North Atlantic. The name Torsk is Norwegian in origin.
Building and Commissioning
USS Torsk (SS-423) was built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The keel was laid on 7 June 1944. The submarine was launched on 6 September 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Allen B. Reed. Torsk was placed in commission on 16 December 1944 with Commander Bafford E. Lewellen, U.S. Navy, as her first commanding officer.
Launching of USS Torsk 6 September 1944
On 31 December 1944 she put to sea for the first time. After training off the East Coast, she sailed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Next she proceeded to Panama and from there to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii where she arrived on 23 March 1945. She sailed for the Pacific war zone on her first war patrol on 15 April 1945.
War Patrol No. 1 - 15 April 1945 to 16 June 1945
Torsk’s primary assignment on this, her first, patrol was to serve as lifeguard for B-29s making raids on the Japanese empire. During this patrol, the Torsk took station off Kii Suido, and later off Honshu. Part of this time she operated with submarines Sandlance, Cero, and Guardfish. By that time, naval operations against the Japanese merchant marine had sunk so many ships that submarines found very few targets. Only two small ships were contacted, but were not attacked.
War Patrol No. 2 - 17 July 1945 to 15 August 1945
After clearing Hawaii, Torsk sailed to Guam for a short stop. Then she went on to the Sea of Japan. On 11 August she rescued seven Japanese seamen whose ship had been sunk by a U.S. plane. On 12 August she had her first combat action when she fired two torpedoes at a small freighter. The ship appeared to be damaged, but postwar investigation failed to show that she sank.
The next day Torsk torpedoed and sank a small cargo ship, the Kaiho Maru. The following day, 14 August, she completed her wartime career by sinking two more small ships, Coast Defense Vessel No. 13 and Coast Defense Vessel No. 47 . This action earned Torsk the distinction of firing the last torpedo and sinking the last Japanese combatant ships of World War II as the “Cease fire” order went out to all U.S. forces on 15 August. The combined tonnage of the three ships sunk on her second patrol was 2,473 tons.

Ep. 203 - Haunted Ships of Baltimore
There is a retired fleet of ships now docked at the Baltimore Maritime Museum, each with its own history of battle and death and now with a legacy of hauntings. The USS Torsk is a Tench Class submarine emblazoned with the fierce grin of a shark that became the Galloping Ghost of the Japanese during World War II. The USCGC Taney is a Coast Guard Cutter that is the last ship floating that fought at Pearl Harbor and it participated in the search for Amelia Earhart. The USS Constellation has the distinction of being the first ship built for the Unites States Navy and it also has the distinction of being one of the most haunted locations in Maryland. That is probably because it not only fought in several wars, but it was involved in battling against pirates and the slave trade in Africa. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of these haunted ships of Baltimore! The Moment in Oddity features Organized Crime's Bee Heist of 2017 and This Month in History features the deadliest school mass murder in America. Suggested by and research help from listener Sarah Gunther.

U.S. Lightship Chesapeake tour, Baltimore (A Day in the LIfe # 241)
On this Day in the Life I continue my Warships tour in Baltimore with the U.S. Lightship Chesapeake. This national historic landmark stands as a reminder of the service these lightships provided as an aid to navigation in a time before modern technology. The service these ships and their crews provided was invaluable to mariners as they navigated the waters off of our coastlines. The men who occupied this ship were of a different cloth than those of modern society... The good ol' days I reckon....

Christmas Dinner on the USS Maryland after Pearl Harbor Attack
The USS Maryland, after the attack on Pearl Harbor to include the USS Maryland was on the way back to Washington state for repairs, when they had Christmas Dinner at sea. This is the original menu from that dinner provided by my friend and Pearl Harbor Survivor. Be thankful your Christmas Dinner was more peaceful if this is true.
Inside a Submarine, a Ship, & a Brewery in Baltimore
Get Awesome Free RV Tips Here:
On this Airstream Life vLog, we head into the city of Baltimore to do some exploring before our A Streamin' Life Meetup.
Our first stop is the historic ships downtown. We don't have a lot of time so we decide to tour 2 of the ships. The first ship we chose was actually a submarine! Wow! It was the submarine who fired the last torpedos of WWII. It was amazing to actually get to walk through a submarine, see where the men slept and ate, and get a feel for the close quarters. We can only imagine what it was like underwater with the engines running. Stuffy, loud and HOT! What an amazing piece of history that we go to experience.
The second ship we chose to go into was actually at Pearl Harbor. Wow! It also played a major role in the Vietnam War. So not only did we get to again see how the men on board lived (much more comfortable than those on the sub) we also got to learn a lot of history as well. We highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.
After a quick walk to Fells Point, another historic part of Baltimore with cobblestone streets, we headed to our meetup at the Brewers Cask. Even though Google Maps said it was closed (it wasn't) we had an awesome time hanging out and having lunch and beer with everyone who came. We loved talking RVing with you and hopefully, we'll see each other on the road one of these days!
Finally, it was time to head back to the campground and the Airstream to see our pups.
In our next video we are going to explain our whole vlogging setup (which has been requested over and over again!) so stay tuned!
