ASR's and ASR Links


Home >> Library >> News Miscellaneous >> USS Greenlet >> Submarine Rescue

Links to information about other ASR's and ASR's in general
(Submarine Rescue Ships).

This whole thing started as just a page or two about the ship that my brother and I were on. However, it keep growing like a fungus as I dig into it more and more. It is still growing, as even now new information and/or pictures comes in every few weeks.

You kind of have to feel sorry for the poor ASR - they were never the ships of legend like the submarines, battleships, and carriers. They just kind of plodded along at 15 knots, doing what had to be done. You will never hear some wanna-be fake war hero claim to be from an ASR (they are always SEALS or EOD!), but they had a job to do, and they did it well - despite most of the crew consuming amounts of alcohol that would normally kill a large cow, or maybe two.
