Zo588. Whoops, wrong picture! What the heck, that’s me as a First-Class Navy Deep Sea Diving Student on the Potomac River. We are doing our salvage training here at a deep spot in the river. This is also at the Naval Dahlgren Weapons Station and later I helped here raising the ex USS Reuben James, which sunk here after explosion testing effects.
