Please note - due to a recent "hacking" incident -
entries between August 2008 and December 2011 were lost.
Unfortunately- every effort to recover the lost entries was unsuccessful
as even the backup files were corrupted beyond repair. Fortunately an off-site
backup of the earlier entries was available and is here. We regret this loss.

Enjoying the new format and would like to note that there is a minor omission in the time line. Between the Griffin's went from Newport to New London and then departed for Panama and then Fiji to Brisbane.
In November of this year had the pleasure of returning to Brisbane and meeting Peter Nunan one of the authors of U.S. Subs Down Under, Brisbane 1942-45. Toured on the River and went past where we established the Submarine Base. Would welcome any communications from any Griffin Sailors out there or relations.
