Great job on the web site. My father A.A. Lidman (Pudgy) served on the
Sea Robin SS 407. He went to the Fairbanks Morris factory for
schooling on the engines that were installed on the Sea Robin. He was
on all three war patrols and the trip around Cape Horn. He just
celibrated his 84th birthday on 12-8-01. While at my house I showed
him the web site. He also enjoied the web site. Thank you for setting
up this site.

YN2(SS) Mark Pitts

Very nice site! You will find a link to it on my page under the Diesel
boats section.
I am currently working at BUPERS in the submarine officer detailer
office and I am under orders to report to my second sub in March 2002.
I will be reporting to USS CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI (SSN 705).

Michelle Willison

My father, John Willison served aboard this submarine. On August
12,2001 he passed away. The time my father served in the Navy was so
very special to him. It was really only upon his death that I realized
this. My father requested his final resting place be the sea. The
sailor has come home. I love you daddy.

Very nice pages.All submarines are brothers of the heart.

Found your excellent web page while looking for pictures of the USS
Volador SS490. I Served in the Volador from 1963 to 1965. If anyone
has photos of her I would appreciate hearing from them.

Paul Web gets more interesting every year. As you know I served on

Stumpy and [snake] Harrington. Will keep signing on often

Brendan Dean Burrow

To Sea Robin crew and family,

I have only been in the Navy for approximately a year and a
half. Though I am not yet qualified as a submariner, it is people like
those who served on SS-407, and all the crews of the 52 boats that went
down in WWII, that make me proud to be a contributing part in today's
Navy. I have met several veterans including those who served on the
Wahoo, the Trepang, the Scorpion, and the Thresher. All have shared
stories with me of the relentless ordeals they dealt with in World War
II. Each story with a new terrifying and bold twist of honor, courage
and committment; while maintaining the respect to prior servicemen and
those to come. I want to say thank you for fighting so bravely and may
the silent service live in all our hearts until the end of time. God
bless each of you and once again, thank you for blessing me with the
respect and genuine compassion I have for my duty a sailor.

I was in Sea Robin right after the War. I have some Historical Data
which you should have. Send me an address and I will forward the
material. I think you will like it.

Wayne I. King

ex - LSRM2 (radioman)Royal Canadian Navy. I spend many hours surfing
DBF sites (and the Ns when time permits). Really enjoy my visit to
your site. Even found a few names that I may remember.

I served 5 years on HMCS RAINBOW SS 75. She was a great boat with a
great history as the Argonaut SS 475. Of course we made a little
history as well.

Thanks for the site and if anyone wants to email me I welcome thier
comments.

If the 475 has a website please advise me of the location.

Dusty Miller

A web site to which us mere mortals can only hope to aspire!
I am in the process of setting up a website for the Cambridge (UK)
branch of the submariners association and may well be picking your
brain (obviously the size of a planet!) re site construction

Came aboard the ROBIN in the late 1950s fresh out of Sub Schl. COATES
was the yeoman and I was his striker. Qualified and made YN2 before I
left to be a staff yeoman on COMSUBRON EIGHT. John Lindsay was the
skipper and "Swede" Hanson was the exec. Whitey Mack (of Blind Man's
Bluff fame) was one of the jr officers. Made a trip to St. Thomas and
the Med while on her. I still have a copy of one of the sailing lists
which I look at periodically. Would be happy to share one if anybody
out there would like one. I can be e-mailed at Sub407@aol.com.

Ray Agee

Just discovered your page while doing additional research on Sea
Robin. I am presently building a 1/48 scale operational model of her
as she appeared during the 'Round the Horn' cruise. I have been trying
to get the exact coloring of the special artwork done on her startboard
side; have National Geographic article/pix, but need the colors. Me,
I'm a retired Air Force E-6 who served in the wrong service. I'd love
to bring her to the 2001 meet.

I am an active duty submariner stationed aboard USS Seawolf SSN-21. For
ten years I have ben collecting original submarine patches. I have two
original USS Sea Robin patches one being obtained on a 1963 tiger
cruise by a Mr. Paul E Schuman. I wanted to know if anyone who was
stationed aboard USS Sea Robin and other boats had duplicates of a
patch from a different boat they would like to trade for a Sea Robin
original. If anyone is interested please Email for a scan of this patch
or any of my other 200 original boat patches...Thanks for your time...

Dan Gendron ET2(SS)

I was on the Sea Robin Dec 1957 to Aug 1960. I don't see me on the

Gibralta getting put back together, from the (10) days crossing the
North Atlantic..fun time

William L.(Bill) Coulter

Dear Paul,
You've put together a great memorial, shipmate! I will provide
pictures as soon as I can dig them out. Pic of Sea Owl and Sea Robin
on their way together to scrapping yard was especially poignant as I
did my underway quals in Sea Owl. My very best to all the Sea Robin
shipmates in Reno. Wish I could be there! Bill
