PSNS Update 4 July, 1998.

Don "Snuffy" Smith, former crew member of the Sculpin (SSN 590) went on the Kitsap Harbor tour at Bremerton Washington in hopes of seeing his old boat before she is scrapped.  Don is one of the few lucky ones, his boat has not been recycled, yet.  Thanks to Don for sharing these photographs with us.

OK, if all went ok, you should have 10 pictures
on 10 e-mail attachments.
now I'll try and give a small bit of information on them.
The tour boat starts from the east end of the shipyard.
Traveling west the Long Beach is reference point and is
I think about in the middle of the many piers. I have photo
of the CV 64 Constellation in Drydock 6 and it is west
of the Long Beach hull. I also have pictures of CV 41
Midway and CV 61 Ranger and 1X518, the old AS 19
Proteus. I will have to work more on the pictures and positions.
