It was customary for World War II submarines to be named for fish. The Torsk got its name from a gadoid fish, a relation to the cod fish, found in the North Atlantic. Torsk is Norwegian in origin. The USS Torsk SS-423 is one of two surviving Tench-class Fleet submarines and is open for tourists in the Inner Harbor outside of the National Baltimore Aquarium. The ship's original radio call sign was NKST, and its radio room, amateur radio station NK3ST, fires up several times a year for special occasions. As a side note, I could not resist taking a close-up of the "shark" face of the submarine next to the "Water Taxi" sign.

Hello from slower, lower Delaware. I have always loved photography. The beautiful oil paintings my Grandfather and Mother painted now hang on my walls and are my inspiration of the beauty that surrounds us. Now that I am retired, I am able to enjoy taking pictures of varied subjects and share them. I am the Author of "Pamsy and Me", a book about a Special Needs little girl and have recently submitted writings on triond.com. Selling dolls and gifts on the Internet for many years has kept me busy with doll companies, auctions and the like. Thank you for viewing and voting on my photographs. Please feel welcome to add me to your "Watch List". Philippians 4:13
