I transfered from the U.S.S. Holland AS-32 to the U.S.S. Orion AS-18 prior to the Holland's cruise through the Panama Canal to dry dock in Bremerton, WA. I believe this was in 1975.

A fine ship and crew.  When the HOLLAND (AS-32) rotated
out of Rota a number of her crew members transferred
to CANOPUS (AS-34).  My tour of duty in Spain ended in
August 1968.

I had a blast when I was stationed on the ship.  I was lucky and got to do my mess duty in the Chiefs mess so it was fairly easy.  I remember trying to get my sea legs! Man was I sick the first time we went out!  LOL  Looking back now, I actually had the time of my life!!

John Parmale, John Snyder,George Lyda, Phil Baril. All you guys were part of my 13 months active duty. And I don’t remember one bad moment with you guys. I owe John Parmalie my life. When I got on board, this guy was out to kill me. To this day I don’t know why, when I go into the print shop I started to hang around with Parmalie. I didn’t know he was part animal and must have kicked some butts on ship. When I was seen on the chow line with John, this guy stopped bothering me. Life was good in the print shop.

While I was on board we also were presented the Battenberge cup award by
Lord / Admiral Mount Batten.  I have photos of the presentation and a certificate that we all recieved at that time and would be happy to share this with the asociation if they do not have this information.  I did not see mention of this in the awards section and thought I would ask.
After I made third class I was put in charge of PMS for the division and was part time supply Petty Officer.  I was also training PO for the division and maintained all the training records for the division.  We made a cruise to Liverpool England twice while I was on board.  She was the first Us Navy ship to enter Liverpool  since WW2 and they gave us quite the welcome.
