Yes, we were in San Juan for sound trials. I was part of the sonar gang. I think it was called TOTO, Tongue of t...

I seem to remember an incident that happen shortly before or right after I reported aboard in 1970 at EB in Groton. The Madison was either going out or coming in from sea trials in the yards(Poseidon conversion) and didn't want to wait on the drawbridge on the river to raise fully so, they opened th...

Test of missile launch system with 4 sabot ripple shot, very impressive! Poseidon missile launch at Cape Kennedy(Canaveral) Shakedown crui...

Leroy, I was in sonar gang during your time. Have a slight memory of you. Maybe a photo would revive the brain cells. Us sonarmen were in our own little world anyway! Capt. Akers is the one that handed me my dolphins. One of the biggest moments of my life! I recall the time we were tied up at Rosie ...

Name That Crew

John Nesbitt was there too. He hasn't changed at all. Remember his little Porsche 914? I wonder if Starbuck still has his mous...

Almost like being back on the boat on patrol. The picture makes the forum come alive. You're not just reading an empty mess...
