I know a guy who collects old cheap tools and fittings from the dump, and stamps them U-(name of earlier sub whose tool set the 853 inherited ommitted for security reasons). He's saving them up to dump on the U853 next time he's down. German subs, I should probably mention, carried fairly cheap tools that look likt the giveaways that come in the trunk of a new car, and stamped with the subs number using a plain old hand metal stamping dies. The joke, from his point of view, is to wonder how long before the finders catch on that the brass is NPT and the wrenches inch. Or to look forward to the day another diver is showing him his treasures, and he recognizes one of his creations. When I question this practice, he says "just making everyone happy". +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Please send messages for the WreckDiver list to: wreckdiver@wreckdiver.com Send subscription and help requests to: wreckdiver-request@wreckdiver.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
