Just found the site. Fantastic. I rode the Proteus from Charleston, via New London, arriving 3 Mar 61. Left in late July 61 for college. Was an FTB2 in the Missile shop (duh!). My wife (now ex-wife) was the third dependant to arrive. Lived at Fernhill in
unters Quay. Many many many wonderful memories! May attend the reunion this year. Want to show my new wife the best duty in the world.

I was T.A.D. on the George C. Marshall when it did the dive in your sequence of pictures on the Marshall page. My first underway. If I remember right, we had went out a week earlier after refit and fixed some things, then back out for patrol. I remember s
methins about the tender going underway about the same time, but I did'nt realize we were so close! Great site. I loved the Marshall pic's.

I served my time on the madison (77-80)GOLD. We did an extended refit on the Los Alamos, I can't remember which year tho. We took her to Newport News Shipyard. Man they cut so many holes in I thought she would never float again. I can remember alot of the
faces but the names are fading. I remember Jim Hair(Master Chief RM) was the COB. He was like a father to us. As for remembering Holy Lock fun times, I danced with the ugliest girl in my life, at the old EM Club. It was a great serving with the finest s
ilors in the world. Some of us called her Jimmy" Mad Dog" Madison. Some called her the "Jolly Dolly". And who can forget the" Blue NOSE "party. Great site, it brings back a flood of memories.

I like both boats and ponies because one of my sons happens to be interested in both of those fine items. Of course I'm a fan...how could I not be? Maybe I'm a little prejudice, but probably not. I just entertain the idea to be fair; I don't embrace it

I recently came across your pages while doing a
search on "submarines". I served aboard the Madison on the Blue Crew between 1965-1967 as an
EM-3 & EM-2. I used a link to your 627.html page
from my intro.htm page as I have only memories of
my tour. Thanks for the resource.

I was in Holy Loch two different times.
USS Daniel Boone SSBN 629 (B) '78 to '80
(we C-4 backfitted in 1980)
I took a lot of pictures (slides) myself during this time.
And then the USS Lewis and Clark SSBN 644 '90 to '91 (One of the last boats to leave before they shutdown the LOCH.
Being an a-ganger, I think the angle of the ship is too much in the missile picture.
Thanks for the memory jolt.
Sincerely,

You site is nice as far as it goes, but it misses both my boats, USS Pomfret, SS 391 and Lewis & Clark, SSBN 641.
I can't tell you how much I want pictures of my old boats. I do have a bad pic of Pomfret. I want a pic of her in her WWII dress, not her Puff dress. Of course, Lewis & Clark always lookied the same, til she was cut up and sent up the Columbia to Hanford.
I saw her reactor section go up river. I ran a fish boat out of Astoria then.
I took some Minox photos (spy camera) of Lewis & Clark, but lost them. Now, I want just one for my old age.

she was converted to an NPTU. I got out in June of 91. It was sad to hear that Holyloch was closing down. Great page you have. I added it to my bookmarks. Thanks for some great flashbacks.

from 72-78 or kids that went to Dunoon Grammar during those years please contact me! I am looking for the Parli family, the Mahaffey family and the Hurt family.

Excellent page on the JA! We actually served together for one Patrol, Winter 78-79. I was in A-Gang on the 620B fom Dec 76 'til Mar '79.
I will be using some of your pictures on my page dedicated to the JA and the Sturgeon.
I also have some other info about the JA from another shipmate who was working as a yardbird at Bremerton. His first assignment there was the RC removal of the JA, his last one was the scraping of the remainder of the hull.

Hey COB,
Great job on this site. Brought back some great memories of my days as a screaming seaman on the Georce C. Marshall in Holy Loch. The "41 for freedom" will never be replaced, but we can always remember them with grace, a smile, and a lagger !!

Trying to find out about the USS Finback. Served 1984 to 1989 as ET1/ss, Navigation Tech. Haven't heard if it has been decommed yet. Still looking for ball caps.
Enjoyed your Holyloch pic's. The Tennants Lager logo nearly brough a tear. It's been awhile. Keep the faith.

I servered on board Blenny from Oct.56 to Dec.60 when I transferred to shore duty in Villa France for 1 yr. While on board Blenny we made 2 trips to the North Atlantic and went through the same thing you did. I was up there on Xmas of 56 and 57. We also l
st our head valve and one of our MMM made one out of deck plate and welded on while we pitch and rolled. What a job but it worked. We also lost our aft marker bouy and all the cable was let out. Since I was one of the boats divers I had to go over the sid
to cut us loose.I have pictures of that...At that time we got spotted by a canadian P2V Neptune and since the hull was paited all white he thought he had a Russki. But we sent him flashing light and he was OK. You have a good page here on the internet. L
ts 0f memories . I was also at the last dive of Blenny and about 10 of my old crew were also there.
Got to go..I still have to work for a living

is a boat sailor. I was on USS BREAM SSK243 and USS SPRINGER SS414 '57-'60. Check out my pages to see life on a fleet boat.

Those pub crawl pics remind me ever so much of Australia during the war. You had to keep moving down there as every pub had designated time to be open and then you moved on to the next one who was coming on line....Ha!

Nice web site!! Served on the John C. Calhoun (SSBN 630 G), Billfish (SSN 676), and Narwhal (SSN 671). Man, I miss my pony. I had a '69 Mach 1 (351W, toploader 4 speed, lotsa fun). Also owned a '67 Cougar (289, C4 auto) that was nice. The "blink out"
taillights still worked!

COB,
I was on the Boone in 74. I was hurt on patrol, since that time I lost my Dophins and my patrol pins, and my Boone Hat. How can I find replacements??? I want someday to show my new 3 year old daughter, I was there...
Thanks Cob

I served on the Daniel Boone SSBN629. I was a FTB3 before I was injured and got discharged back in 74. Those were some of the best memories I can recall. I wouldn't trade a million bucks for the experience but I wouldn't pay a nickel to do it again. Good
age my friend, Thanks for the memories.

Really enjoyed your site, particularly the Holy Loch pages. I did some NATO exercises in Greenock as a SUPPO for a mobile communications unit in 91 - 93 and got to see the end of the USN presence. Was back once or twice in 95-96. Dunoon still lives. O
, for a pint of 'Heavy'!
