Dave- More Sub Talk

Share this page

I know Toby. In fact, I first met him in the early 70's when he came aboard The Horse in Charleston in civilian clothes to meet with our skipper.
I know the operation he speaks of...I think....one of the Med Ops has been declassified, and that's the one we were on with NR-1.
It was...interesting.
 
I read about that the other, pretty cool stuff.
 
Toby Warson, who served as commander from 1970-73, said he once led the sub on a hazardous military operation in the Mediterranean. The mission, code-named "Raccoon Hook," earned him a distinguished service medal, he said, but he has had to keep the details to himself.
"I finally had to quit wearing the ribbon because when I walked into the officers' club, everyone asked how I got it, and I couldn't tell them," said Warson, who lives in Camas, Wash. "They thought I was being cute. I wasn't being cute. I just didn't want to go to jail."

Well, if "The Admiral" was involved, and NR-1 (With T. Warson as well), it was likely ~close~ to th' Med. "Raccoon Hook" indeed.
