Speaking for the USSVI Tarheel Submarine Veterans, we offer our deepest condolences and prayers for the family and friends of our brother Jim Myers.
His devotion to the submarine service and the Tarheel Base was shown in his efforts to obtain, prepare, and make ready a MK 14 Torpedo that was used in parades across the state of North Carolina. Jim proudly towed the torpedo behind his truck for many years, to the delight of parade attendees.
We offer fair winds, and following seas to this brother as he enters the Kingdom of Heaven.
Sailor, rest your oar, we have the watch.
