Comments: Wonderful memories of Rota
Comments: Outstanding site. Glad to be aboard. I enjoyed my time spent on Holland especially Scotland. I still keep in touch with several old shipmates and hear from them once in a while.
Comments: Joined Holland in Scotland. Enjoyed the tour there, wish I had went there when I had a chance back when AS-19 set up the site. As all sites it was a lot of work but that was how the it was taking care of the SSN & SSBN a lot of work.
Comments: Great memories
Where do you live now? Palmyra,MO What Was your Rank/Rate On The Holland? MT3 Comments: I truly enjoyed my time aboard the Holland, as well as my time in Rota. I especially remember the trips to Torremolinos, Seville, and the camp outs along the beach at the lighthouse at Trafalgar. I have made so many friends since I attended the first USS Holland reunion in Corpus Christi, TX and haven't missed one since. I enjoy the work I am doing as the USS Holland AS-32 Association Treasurer. I hope to see many former shipmates in Concord, CA this year, 2009.
Comments: I enjoyed all the time on board and all of the friends that I made while on board. I enjoyed all of the liberty ports that we made. The radio gang was the best ones that I worked with the whole time I was on active duty. I would enjoy hearing from some of the radiomen sometimes. I would do again if given a chance. Thank You for all of the good memiores U.S.S. Holland AS-32.

Comments: Got onboard as an ENFA too much partying and card playing. We landed in some really great liberty ports, A true to life experience what a ride, I would gladly do that part of my life over again and not change a thing, We had a great crew back then and guess what we still have a great comraderie going on with the association. Please join us in the honor of what we were there for.

No Department / Division / Shop : Deck Dept / 2nd Division / Crain Operator Comments: Came on broad the Holland when it was in the Charleston Naval Shipyard in August 1975. Was with the MAA dept for 3 months, then went straight to 2nd Division after we arrived at Holy Loch as a deck hand, to me was not that bad at all. I just loved working the outdoors especially in Scotland. Sure it was hard work, but just being tghere was a thrill.Got Certified to be a Cargo/Missile Crane Operator, Weapons Handler.I remember when we pulled an all-nighter on the starboard after cargo crane pulling up 24 batteries on a submarine from their top side torpedo hatch.Also when we replaced a screw from a sub along side.Boy nothing but brass...The USS Holland was the Best Duty Command on ship that I ever had in the Navy.What a Vacation......
