So, when did they stop calling it the GDU and went to TDU? I've
seen other diesel boats with GDUs. Same with the upper hatch being a 3-dog and not a locking ring. Nice pictures. hagar |

The boat looks impressive since the last work weekend. How long ago was that?

Was called GDU on SS485 when I was aboard, '61-64. Fortunately, for me and the boat, I never had to operate it when I was mess cooking !! I think it became TDU with the advent of nuc boats. We know the nucs didn't have garbage on their boats...just trash, sounds so much more refined doesn't it??? ;) |

TDU vs. GDU is my error; my boats we're all TDU, so I jumped on that terminology. Torsk does, in fact, have a GDU. You can barely make out "Garbage Disposal Unit" on the Warning plate. I am aware that a GDU and TDU, while similar, are not the same thing - sorry for the confusion.

Brings back memories. I served on her sister ship, Quillback (SS-424) - 1964 Med run.

BZ to all those Torsk Bandits and all the others who have kept this boat in such a pristine condition. Looks like it is ready for the Captains inspection. Great Job to all those involved. You should all be extremely proud of your efforts.
