Diving on the USS Iowa (BB-61) on January 2nd, 1986
The bow of the Iowa - she's a big mother.
Cooksie (in another state of inner frustration).
Cooksie, me, and Zee during pre-dive brief.
Just prior to entry. Oh what did I forget...?
Zee performing final checks with me.
What a classic photo!!! This is my topside crew that
dreaded morning. There's Hess, Cooksie on stand-by, Mr. LaChance sitting
back there, Tosh, and Red. Check out the snow on the deck!
Tending alongside the Iowa (and bent!). After I got out,
Cooksie got to go in...
...and Sugar got to be stand-by diver. I have written on
the back of this photo, "...captured exclusively while at a stabilized sugar
level." (To provide you a background of his nickname.)
