excellent pics, the memoriesa re flowing back. I was an engineman onboard the dry dock during 77 -78, many firends there and my mother was from Greenock. I can't go to the reunion in Virginia, but my heart will be there. Thanks for posting the pics!

I have many memories and your site has brought some back. My refits were in Holy Loch, Newport News, Charlston, Kings Bay, and Mayport; we also were given a 3-day port call in Agadir, Morocco! You have a terrific web site and thank you for the hard work to create and maintain it. Please add me to crew email group. Thank you.

Served on this great boat 1964-1967. Was part of Commissioning crew for the SSBN-633. Made five patrols and earned my dolphins as an ET-2 Blue crew member.

Thank you for all the information you put on this site. I was asked to go on submarine duty by the Navy recruiters I first talked to, however I went into the Air Force as a network system administrator. I have always been curious on how you guys lived. Thank you for your service and your sacrifices to our nation. I regret now not joining the Navy and the ranks of great men such as you willing to do such a dangerous job. It sounds like it was stressful but extremely fulfilling.

30 November 1991 I retired, and now reflecting back on my tour of duties one of the most exciting times were when I as an HT2 had the opportunity to ride the Pulaski for sea trials. This was back in Holy Loch in 1972. Just wanted to say thanks guys for making that a time now that I can remember. I did get my honorary Dolphins, and to this day very proud of that moment.

Again, thanks to the crew in 1972

I was on board in the early 70's during refit to Poseiden. An FTB with 5 patrols out of Holy loch. Great Memories - Great Friends - Incredible Operational Test of the Weapons system!

I worked on the 633 during an ERP in Kings Bay in the early 90's. Great crew to work with and we at CNSYD got it done on or ahead of time. I believe it was a LID boat by then,but still the crew took pride in the boat. all the best, Scott Shop 38

No I do not know where David is. What are you up to these days?

I'm pastoring a church in Iowa and serving as chaplain to veterans (BCC endorsement). Anita and I celebrated our 40th anniversary this year. Remember those days in our house?
