My dad Steve Smolyn passed away March 19, 2020. He served on the Jack in WW2. I can’t imagine many of those brave men are still alive today, true heroes!

My grandfather served on the Jack, there is a great book Admiral Calvert wrote called Silent Runnings... Its a great book with some really good photos of the crew. I actually found my grandfather in the one.

My father, Charles Caw, was part of the Jack crew during WW2. Looking for any memories of him.
