Administrators Gail Posted January 24, 2016 Administrators Posted January 24, 2016 We always knew that Dad had been in the Navy during the war on an escort ship in the North Atlantic. Today for the first time he asked hubby to search out this ship on the Internet. This is the one he was on: Tom Wetmore, Stan and Liz 3 Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Administrators Gail Posted January 24, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 24, 2016 He said that the ship would drop things into the water that would send out little vibrations or sound waves that would deflect torpedoes and make them go off course. But when the torpedoes went off the ship would shake. Interestingly enough, he mentioned that the ship was made with rubber rivets, while American ones were made with metal rivets. When the shock of a torpedo exploding hit the ship, the ship would shake but the rubber rivets would absorb the shock and damage to the ship was minimised. Dad will be 91 on Monday. We still enjoy his stories of adventure Liz, phkrause, Stan and 2 others 5 Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
