Brian Keith Posted March 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2020 I came across this photo in a grouping to a retired submariner and wondered if anybody could tell me what sub it was. I have information that he served on the following subs: USS Requin (SS-481), USS Carp (SS-338), USS James Madison (SSBN 627) USS Daniel Webster (SSBN 626) USS Von Steuben (SSBN 632). Thanks for looking and for any information. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
