Covert

EMC(SS) Guy Covert, USN

Below are brief stories related by EMC(SS) Guy Covert of the USS R-7 (SS- 1942 to 1943 Chief Covert also was a plank owner of the USS Trutta (SS 421) and then after two war patrols transferred to the sub tender USS Proteus and was part of the surrender and occupation forces of Japan. He also served aboard the USS Carbonero SS 337. Re-commissioned the USS Capitaine SS 336 in 1957. Chief Covert had e-mailed me these brief snapshots of his life aboard the R-7 as he found time. This helps us to understand what life was like for our early submariners and appreciate the comforts we take for granted in today's navy submarine service.
