Great Captain. Great crew. Great memories.

The Holland will always hold a special place for me!

Good Times, Lots of friends and memories

Some of the people were not the best but I still miss the old girl and all my friends. Bob, Wilkie, Bill, Matt. We all had a great time on Guam. I sure as h**l don't miss Mr2 dugan or his suck daddy warrant officer that was my reason for leaving instead of continuing on to a carreer in the Navy. sure do miss the island.

My dad, retired Captain Lawrence Wigley was on board in the Holy Loch 1977-1979.  Wanted to see if any other navy brats were around. My dad is good.  My mom, Shirley passed away about a year ago from breast cancer. I miss "The World's Greatest Tender" year's!

Hello to all the other RADIAC Technicians from the Holland.  One of favorite memories was Scuba Diving on Christmas Day.  I had a blast in Hong Kong and Darwin.

Forgot how exciting the "trip" from Charleston was until I read some of these accounts...

Three years of 80+ hour work weeks with our only time off when we went out to sea, that is if we didn’t get picked to say behind to work on subs.  R-4 was not the place to be but the people in R-4 were great to be with. And the food was great too.

I will love to see some of the people I was on the boat with.

I enjoyed my tours onboard USS HOLLAND AS-32 and along with other shipmates learn to accomplish with a  "Can Do" spirit.  My experiences onboard helped me progress throughout the Navy with confidence to other commands and as a Tugmaster.  Their are so many memories along with faces from working with Squadrons 16, 14 and shipboard division shipmates. 

Good times!! I was a baby and made some amazing friends and family!!! I married Myron (Mikey) Bose, BM3 after we left and we had 2 amazing kids. We are now divorced but he is San Diego, Ca. I am remarried in Fl. I will never forget this ship and crew!!

One of the 38 shop 'heavies". Still remember how to do a screw change in the dry dock.  Wife and I lived on the Low Road above Marshals Dairy. First son was born in Greenoch on July 4th, 1980. Great memories. Would like to revisit Dunoon someday.

Scotland was my first tour out of A school, being from Florida I was not prepared for the snow and horizontal rain. Became friends with a lot of good people, and had great experiences on board. The trip back to Charleston was cool, as was the round the world trip (not Gitmo though). Enjoyed shark fishing with the mooring lines on the trip back from Holy Loch. I also enjoyed Diego Garcia, that's where I worked the shack on the beach. Skate job. Got to be the conning officer for a watch and rescue a man overboard ( the dummy I found out ) and burned something in the engine room at the same time so we sat in the water for 2 days for repairs (black balled). The shipyard was a whole different life. Will be going to the reunion in Jacksonville in July. Look forward to seeing old shipmates (hopefully) and meeting new ones.

Just looking for old friends and old divers.  Pictures are good too.

The Years have passed, but I still look back and remember the greatest group of guys I served with!! The duty stations and the ports we visited. Four years on the Holland are all pleasant memories for me because of of the people on board.
