Comments: Just found out about this site I plan to become a member. Some of my greatest memories of the Navy were aboard this ship. Thank You to most of the people I served with.
Comments: thanks, it's good to have a link to the past
Comments: Looking for former shipmates
Comments: Great times, learning experience. To much partying to remember everything (welfare night at the jungle) : ), the Holland did have a great crew. we had to be like a family, otherwise we wouldn't have made it. I pre commed a Destroyer after the Holland, then went to a Sima, then realized I had gotten metal poisoning (probably on the Holland) then got a med retirement as an HT2.

Comments: Great times on the Holland in Holy Loch in DC Division. Really good guys to work with as well as the other divisions on board. Scotland was the best!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing some old shipmates
Comments: 1983 world cruise, Sueze and panama canals. Spain, Diego Garcia. Perth Austrailia. We had a good crew in the optical shop and lots of friends in the R-4 macinery repair division and the instrument shop as well. I enjoyed my duty in Goose creek SC Pops pizza, and bar hopping around there. Made some great memories. If any of my shipmates that knew me from the optical shop want to chat, just email me. I have a few pics to share.

Comments: I severed under Capt. Steele. I ran the "Plan of the Day" everyday. Joined the Navy to see the world, only saw Charleston..
Comments: I had a great time aboard the Holland, the one year I had in Roda was the best.
Comments: Had a great experience aboard the Holland. Worked with a dedicated crew in the print shop. Made LI-3 aboard. I remember the guys like it was yesterday, Phil Baril, John Snyder, Jim Grexer, George Lyda, Bob Holderbaum and others. The photo tour of Holland in storage sure is sad to see. I can remember being in most of the spaces shown at one time or another as I was always exploring around the ship. Sure makes me feel old! |
