Comments:

I loved my time onboard.  I remember practicing leaving the ship for the last time with crew and as we were standing on the pier in ranks the ship moaned.  I think everyone was crying...I had the time of my life and have great memories including meeting my husband.  Yup 16 years of marriage and going strong..My biggest influence in my life back then was my Chief Robinson.  I was stationed with him when I was an E-2 and then again in Guam.  Great memories of Guam.  I will make it back there one day....

I loved my time on Holland, especially being forward deployed to Guam. Many great shipmates and memories. R4 Div was a training ground for my future career. CW02 Mr. Shakelton was my first Div-O. seems like forever ago. Fair winds shipmates!

Comments:

I worked all three divisions in Deck Department.  I was one of the special services fishing boat coxswains while in Rota.  I also spent a good many hours operating the Boat/Missile, torpedo, and pier cranes while in Rota.  I was the Second Division Division Officer as a BM2 during the first part of the Bremerton overhaul.  Then I switched with BMC Moore to become the First Division Officer.  I served on the master at arms force as the only Petty Officer Second Class during the last few months of the overhaul until my departure in Holy Loch.  I remember many names and have fond memories of my time on the Holland.  Anyone remember PO1 Grommling, PO1 O'Grady, PO1 Colby all on the MAA force?

Comments:

Holland was my first ship, good times in a great country, lots of hard work when on duty, it would be nice to hear from someone if you were in m-division during this time, I am really bad remembering names but everyone was great bunch of guys( no gals then) I will probably remember if I see some names, still looking through logbook. Really glad I no longer have to do 2k pms on Fairbanks engines, probably have black lung from doing that, not sure on the asbestos thing yet either. I miss the fish and chips too!

Comments:

   In 1991 a son of a gun joined the Navy and had lots of fun, he sailed the seven seas many times at flank speed and in port chased the ladies at a run. At times here and there he smells the salt air and remember the days he was young.

I was part of the great m-division, During the Capt. Young time. Learned to fit in with my fellow forward engine room snipes. Was there for all the fun and work during the typhoon Omar and earthquakes. realized that if the crew don't groove the ship don't move. Miss all the friends that I had over there and times at the base club and in town. I have Since married and have 5 kids who I tell all those Navy stories to. Still have steel beach picnics.
