Newly discovered Photo of CAG-1 (in 1956)

I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

...pseudo ship, eh?
I'll tell you this; if that "pseudo ship" was cruising around underwater while you were bobbing around the surface and he were your enemy, you had better be nervous, because he could sink you before you knew what hit you!
lol!!!
...BTW: the photo was taken in Norfolk, VA in 1956
I was aboard in 1961,in 1956,I was in the 6th or 7th grade! The 703 was just a twinkle in the "big" Boston's eye.
