Memories For This Unit
Other Memories While on the USS MACKEREL, I made First and Second Class Machinists Mate. We were in the North Atlantic when WW II started, chasing German Submarines. We were fired on by the U-Boat and one torpedo traveled down our starboard side missing us by one foot. We fired back but missed her. She went East and we went South; no more contact after that.
