Went aboard the Holland at Naval weapons station, Goose Creek.  Left the Holland while it was in dry dock in Charleston.  Enjoy my short time while aboard. A lot different duty after coming off carrier Shangri-La CVA38.  I ran aft ship store and got a chance to meet a lot of sailors coming and going from the Subs.  It was like shore duty, there were four of us that rented a trailer in a trailer park near a bar.  Had some good times on and off the Holland.

Comments:

  I went on board IN May 1966 in Rota, Spain. I remember the crossing of the Atlantic in 1966. We took a 38 degree roll in a storm, as fierce as the one everyone talks about on the trip back to Rota in 1968.   I recall all the guys were thinking the boat missile Crane was going to cause us to roll over!  I also recall being in dry dock in the Naval Yard in August 1968 and the temperature in the 100's and we had no air on the ship!   I left the Navy in Sept. 1968.  I had some good times and some not so good times!  Everything considered, it was a learning experience for me!   Does anyone remember the picture of the guy with the injured foot that hung in DC division?  That's me! I had a little accident with a sheet of stainless and afterword, the whole division was issued steel toed shoes!  I am told that picture hung there for years!  I don,t know if that's true or not.  Anyone serving in my division , you may contact me at bbhowell@ comcast.net if you like.  Thanks for this site!

Reported aboard the Holland Jan 75  in my dress whites! Then proceeded to call the CPO of the watch "sir"...lol. But after that it got much better. We arrived in Scotland Nov 75. the first 6 month's at Site One was the worst time in my young Navy career. It was cold, and wet and i could' nt understand a single word the local's said. Thank god for the tennent's and fish & chips. We did work are asses off.. and we played even harder on the beach... I have seen very few names from my time on board the Holland here.I guess some of us still have not grown up.Or perhaps it's wake up . However it is good to see nearly 3 generation's of Holland sailor;s on these pages.. Rusty, Timmy T, Jim W, Brad, Eric, Hank, if your out there let me know ur alive...
