1959 - USS Cusk (SS-348) Year by Year
History
Crewmembers, Pictures and
Memorabilia
Captain Robert E Crawford, LCDR
was the commanding officer of the Cusk in 1959. Early in the year on the
3rd of February, the Cusk was performing training exercises with the USS
Lansing, DER-388, just outside of Pearl Harbor. The exercise was named
Z-33-a-U. Shortly afterward, the Cusk got underway for an extended
training cruise in Alaska. She returned to Pearl Harbor several months
later in July, 1959.
