Comments: I have a friend whose father, Donald Hostomsky, served aboard the Batfish in the mid 50's when it was at Key West.
After his enlistment was up, he became a NYC cop, got married and raised a family in the Bronx. He retired from the 48th precinct in the Bronx and shortly thereafter died. I would like to see his name mentioned as a past crew member. Thanks, Craig Ryff

Comments: the general consensus is that you have: not only a historic, but awesome website here. i've recently rejoined contact with
mark long - a contributor to the site and a former co-crew-member on a sub we served on together. perhaps you have guessed by now,
that sub was the u.s.s. batfish ssn 681. i served aboard ssn 681 from july 1982 till late summer 1984 gaining my 'dolpins' while a crew
member there. as a junior sonarman - i learned sound propagation and ranging. i made a career of the navy - retiring in oct of 1995, but
not before becoming a plank-owner on two newer submarines - both 688 centurion class (bow plane fast attacks) as a sonar instructor
mid-way through my career - i had the privilege of helping hollywood do their level best with 'realism' by giving the actors a tour of an operational
sonar system... what a hoot my career was. i look back fondly at the (at times) arduous duty, such things giving way to the memories of fellow
comrades, the sea, and the world that only those who have gone down to the sea in submarines may claim as their very own. hope to hear
from some of your from the ss batfish. feel free to write...

was a relief crew member of that vessel. i also knew that his name was entered as a crew member in a book that was written about the batfish. for years i have

Comments: i live in bixby, ok and have been by the batfish but not inside. this is a very interesting site and i have enjoyed looking through it. i wonder what the
average size of a crew member would have been. the space on board ship looked very cramped. jim davis/nw5f
