(GRS009 - GRS012) The older submarines had to do a dive daily. HMCS GRILSE came up from her dive with an derelict boat caught in her vents and transferred it to HMCS ANTIGONISH where it immediately fell apart. This was in the Pacific ocean in April 1966. These photo show the various stage of transferring the dingy to HMCS ANTIGONISH. HMCS ST CROIX and HMCS STETTLER are doing a transfer in the background. // Courtesy of Robert Berbeck
