USS Grenadier SS 525

Back in 1959 the United States Navy was locked in a battle of skills with the Soviet Union. Capt. Ted Davis and his crew did a remarkable job in this real life version of The Hunt for Red October. The men successfully located and tracked a Russian Zulu in the GIUK gap and won a case of Jack Daniels for their work.

My Dad was onboard the Grenadier in the early 60's. (Orville Gatti Jr.) I'd love to hear from you and maybe get a picture. My Dad passed away in 2007 but loved his Navy days. I'm also a US Navy Gulf War veteran. Thank you. Ron Gatti gatti_ron@yahoo.com
