And the tender uss Holland AS-32 for just a few mi. My said hay dad is that we're you were and is that your ship. I told him yes.Then asked you ever talked to anyone from the ship.I told no I was not the best crewman. Meet really good people.Loved the work and the navy but I was a little wild then.

My first command out of 'A' School.  Served with some great guys, including Russell Romo, Chuck Ferguson, Bill Boerner (DPs), Doug Dinning and Bill Wolslegal (E div).  Played softball for the ship's team, which included a great trip to Edzell, Scotland (that site is closed too) for the Northern European tournament.  Great command, great crew, happy times!

Nice to see such a fine site for old Holland sailors!

Enjoyed watching it snow 14" on the missile tube hatches one Saturday afternoon while I had watch in February, 1973 - up the river in Charleston...

Transferred aboard for my last year in the Navy from the USS Alexander Hamilton SSB(N) 617 Gold Crew in Rota.

The AS-32 served us well on the boat for the 6 patrols I made.

Thankful of the internet and people who have gathered this information. I wish I would of been a shutterbug back then to take pictures of where I was stationed. But then again I think my camera would of been confiscated. I had to leave the ship earlier than what I was supposed to since I got pregnant and had complications with the father, and well, my life, so I was never able to return. Kind of sad I couldn't of been a part of the ship's journey from Charleston, SC through the Panama Canal and to Guam and to everywhere else. Kind of sad too that its gone now that I can't even show my family now. At least there are pictures. Thank you for making this available!

This was my very first command as I entered into the Navy in 1989. I was only on for a couple years.. hoping to catch up with some old friends. I was originally from Illinois and just moved here to Oklahoma in 2011. The Holland was by far the best place I had ever been. Loved the people I worked with.. I left the ship right before they left for Guam. I wish I had stayed! best time ever!
