I had the pleasure of serving on the Will Rogers(SSBN 659) 1991-1993. Though my time there was not long, I definately enjoyed the time spent in Holy Loch and being the last boat to leave there. I stayed on board long enough to ride her around to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for decom in 1993 and was part of the final crew release. Your video did bring back alot of memories it gives me goosebumps and makes me smile to see alot of things from pictures. Excellent video. Keep up the great work.

My older brother's first SSBN was the "Valley Joe" 658. He was out of Charleston SC for a while. Then he went to Kings Bay until 2004 when he retired. As far as I know he was a weapons control from 1983-2004. He did not tell me to much of what he did. I did not ask.

Wow, I must have served w/ you, but I don't recognize your handwriting...ha ha...
Thanks for dropping by. I visited last weekend w/ a Sonar Chief I served w/ on the Tcup, I hadn't seen him in over 30 years. Had a great time.

Thanks for all of the great memories... I guess I was just ahead of you - Arrived at Diego for Boot in Nov '73. Graduated from Sub School in April '74 - Made 5 patrols out of Rota on the George C. Marshall SSBN 654 (G)
Transferred to Diego to a Diesel Boat Sailfish SS 572 - A WESPC on the USS Haddo SSN 604 and ended up taking the Spadefish SSN 668 to the Newport News Ship Yards - I mustered out in April '78 as a TM 2 (SS) - I thank God for the experience...

I made 6 patrols on the teacup and was on the Blue crew from 1973-1976. I was a nuke and I was very interested to see these pix. They brought back fond and some not so fond memories. I retired in 1993 as a Master Chief.

It's always nice to hear from a fellow Submariner. Especially one from the Tcup. Thanks for dropping by.

I was on the blue crew from 1979 to 1982 and did 4 patrols including the 50th for T-Cup. I was an SK2 when I left and retired SKC(SW/SS) after 20 years. Submariners are the best of the best! I really enjoyed the video. Wow, brings back alot of memories. I am glad you took so many pics, otherwise we would only have our fuzzy memories, pics are better. Thanks shipmate!

Me too. What great memories. I sure would like to have some of those fish and chips about now.
I try NOT to remember the Field days, Midwatches, Working Parties and Drills.
