I am a member of the Razorback base of the United States Submarine Veterans, Inc. (USSVI), and on March 10, 2010,
                                           we loaded three Mark 14  WWII torpedoes aboard the old USS Razorback which is at the Arkansas Inland Maritime
                                                             Museum (AIMM) in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  The following photos are from that work party.
