[StartQuote] Frank; Just by reading all the books and info I have gathered from various Vets. It appears that early Rons were commissioned at Elco, others were commissioned at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Once the boats were accepted they shuttled back and forth between BNY and Melville, what we call work up training prior to deployment. during this period some boats had their mufflers installed at Fifes shipyard at Glenwood Landing, NY(RON 2(2) was also commissioned here).then to Florida and then the Carribean run to Panama, if they were not shipped. Higgins boats did their work ups on Lake Ponchatrain, LA then to Florida then the Carribean run, if they were not shipped. Huckins boats of course went to RON 4 as training baots, then to RON 14 and Panama. RON 26 I hardly know anything about, except they remained in Hawaii. Even when the RON 1 boats came back to Hawaii from Alaska, they were working up to go out to the Phillipines, to blow lanes through mine fields with 600lbs depth charges. Take care, TED [EndQuote]
