Short time onboard. December 74 thru June 75. Opted off before Holland left Bremerton for Holy Lock. Always wished I wouldn't have made that choice.

It's funny how while you are there you countdown the days yet now we talk about how great those days were. ..4wheelin in the hills, bbq's on the beach, freshwater cave dives, reef snorkeling follow the leader, and of course the jungle.".Remember the little things for one day we will realize they were the big things".
All the best to you and if anyone gets back there see if Latinos Italian restaurant is still around say hi to Bernie...

Department / Division / Shop : Electric Shop

Comments:
Served as Electrician aboard Holland 1964-1967 in Rota, Spain and Charleston.  Operated the big crane and refitted the boats tied alongside when they came back in off patrol with busted pumps or motors, valve actuators, etc.  Stood watches in the electrical control room overlooking the rear engine room.  Switching engine-generators was generally done on the midwatch and looking out over the engine room at those big Fairbanks-Morse diesels was a real treat.  Seems like there was always a diesel tech guy on board to keep that ship running.  Sometimes we would go to sea from Rota on sea trials with a refitted sub, generally acting as a target for practice torpedo runs.  When a dummy torpedo would hit the ship it would certainly get everyone's attention.

Department / Division / Shop : Supply S-2 Food Service Officer

Comments:
Had my plate full (no pun intended) with the Cooks and Mess Cooks. I spent more time at XO's & CO's Mast than I did looking after the Food Service Division. Took the ship from Charleston, SC to Bremerton, WA. We had a lock down inspection for contraband en-route and the biggest stash of pot was found over an oven in the bakeshop. Overall, it was an interesting and enjoyable tour. I retired with 23 plus years in the Navy.
