Then with Swallow, AMS 36, and then on Impeccable, AM 320 for return to Long Beach in April 1953. MSB work was cold, bitter, and dark. But at day end or night end as the case may have been, there was completion of that little portion. Night time sweeps with the discovery of a mine tangled in the gear we were retrieving in the dark. Waiting as the Sarsi, ATF, was salvaged in 1952 at night. I was a "snipe", Engineman striker, entire enlistment on sweepers. Discharged from the Bunting in March 1955. We could rebuild the 71 series diesels on the well deck floor in six hours! BBrown 1/15/2013. I was with MSB 1 from Nov 1951 – Oct 1952.
