Squadron Ken Machura had major buoyancy problems far beyond the design and installation of his boat's fair water planes.
Desperate times call for desperate solutions.
With the steadiest of hands and the keenest of eyesight, Machura added three BB pellets fore and one aft, flooded all compartments. His sub settled below the water while its bubble signature disappeared. Another close call for the shipmates in SubRon Four, but nothing out of the ordinary. We're members of the Sub Committee. We all live in New England and are close enough that we can get together more than once a year.
