Title: For those whom served on the USS VON STEUBEN
Post by: Darrin on December 15, 2008, 08:29:04 PM

Here is a pic of a submarine that sailed the ocean with sharks teeth on her nose and didn't take them off... BTW John and Mike you can change your pic by going to profile and then modifying your profile and upload any pic that you would like, thought you two would like to have a pic of the Von Stueben with her teeth painted on in drydock

I think this was a short term paint job out of Rota Spain.  We did not have this paint job when I was on board. But I like it! :smitten:

From what I understand about that paint job it was on there for a number of years.. Best part is it was painted on because the CO's son liked the movie "JAWS" and the skipper had it painted on during her time in the drydock on a "no balls" or so the story goes
