it was sad to read today that another Barb submariner has pasted away.
My step father Joe Fanelli also served on the Barb during WW2. Joe pasted away many years ago. I leave you with these words:
“There is a port of no return, where ships may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then some starless night the cable slips, leaving only an eddy at the mooring place.
Gulls veer no longer, Sailor rest your oar.
No tangled wreckage will be washed ashore.”
