A Chief Torpedoman aboard USS Griffin AS-13 paints another "hashmark" on the Torpedo Shop scoreboard of Japanese ships claimed sunk by SubRon 5's "S-Boats", operating out of Brisbane, Australia, during April-November 1942. The original caption dates the photo 7 January 1943, but it may have been taken earlier, as Griffin left Australia in November 1942.

WP 913 (EMD F7A, ex-WP 920-A, b/n 8976, f/n 3006-A15, built 1/50) leads the other three operating but tattered surviving F-units in Niles Canyon between Niles Junction and Sunol on January 16, 1977. Rehabilitation for the "Fab Four" is not far off along with their newfound fame.
