The crew of WATERFORD (ARD-5)



This picture shows the crew of WATERFORD in front of one of the tended submarines. All work has been accomplished and the submarine is now ready to rejoin the fleet. WATERFORD personnel were responsible for providing various services to the submarine including; electrical power, potable water, seawater, sewage connections, telephones and cable TV. WATERFORD was also responsible for hydroblasting the hull to remove all sea growth and then paint the entire underwater portion of the hull with anti-fouling paint. During the winter in Connecticut, this was no easy task.
