Welcome back in time to the decade of peace, flower power, the British Invasion and letting it all hang out.  Oh yeah, and submarine sailing as well.  The photos on this page were donated by various crewmembers and do not fit anywhere else on this site.  If you sent photos - as always, THANK YOU!!!!!  If not, feel free to share your memories with the world.  Enjoy your trip back in time.

The Casimir Pulaski's first base of operations would be Rota, Spain.  This necessitated the crew's flight from the continental United States to Spain.  This emotional event occurred at the airport where families and friends said goodbye to their proud sailors as they departed for the refit site.  Here is a photo of sailors boarding a Continental flight bound for Spain (photo courtesy of an unknown shipmate).

Once arrived in Spain, the refit commenced.  Here is a photo from the 1965 time-frame showing the Pulaski inside Rota's dry dock for routine maintenance.  Note the bright color of her lower hull anti-fouling paint (photo courtesy possibly of Chuck Jensen).

Here is a photo of some of Pulaski's first Chiefs playing cards in the Chief Petty Officer's berthing, also known as the "Goat Locker" (photo courtesy of Chuck Jensen).

Here is a very rare shot of a side of the Lower Level Crew's Lounge that frequently escapes cameras.  Here's two of Pulaski's Engineering staff playing cribbage.  The storage lockers above their heads contain the Library's many books.  Thanks to contributor Chuck Jensen for marking the names of everyone on the photos (photo courtesy of Chuck Jensen).

Here is a shot of dolphins as viewed through the Pulaski's periscope.  The sound of dolphins "clicking" is one of the more enjoyable sounds to be heard on patrol and the Officer Of The Deck would occasionally turn the Control Room speaker on to enable them to be heard (photo courtesy of Don Ward).

And another periscope view but this time in color.  This shot is facing aft and shows the Pulaski's rudder (photo courtesy of Chuck Jensen).

One of the treats of any patrol is a live missile shot.  One of Pulaski's Polaris A-3 missiles takes flight during a September 1964 patrol (photo courtesy of Chuck Jensen).
