SID!!!! Is that really you............... Where are you now? What a great job on the video. So do you keep in contact with anyone. Remember Roger Musgrove, Ed Matthias, Carl Dunfrund and Leroy Scharfenberg . I still see them occasionally. Remember Tom Hurst and George (Darrell Ducheneaux)? I wonder what happened to them. Drop me a line. I would love to catch up. Al Einberger SSBN 628 (Blue) 1973-1976
Thanks for stopping by. I do remember those guys, please say hi to them for me. I have talked to Georges ex wife, but not him. He is working at the sub base in New London. Can't find Hearst. I keep in touch with several guys from the boat.
GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I will email you.
Regards, Mouse......
PS: Remember my first R&R I was supposed to mail you your check, AND I FORGOT! Still sorry about that one......
I was T-Bone January 82 - March 87 Wonderful images Sid! I wish I knew where you got a lot of them? I went from Deck Gang to a YN3(SS) for my time on TCup. The Tecumseh is in my dreams about 3 nights a week and I hope that your utube video will make them go away! Thank You!
Great Memories, EM1 SS, Gold Crew, 77 - 82, Nuke - Blue Nose, DASO, Shipyard (Portsmouth), GAK in the Rack, stuff we still cant talk about (if you were there you know), man battle station missile for a tactical launch, this is not a drill... Hats off to those on the eternal patrol, blue dolphin lounge (holyloch),
Thank you for the memories. I really enjoyed your presentation. I reported aboard the Tea Cup on December 23, 1964. She was tied up to the portside of the Proteus AS-19 in Guam. I also served on the Daniel Boone SSBN629 and the Franklin SSBN640. Discharged July 1970 TM2 (SS).
I had the pleasure of serving on the Will Rogers(SSBN 659) 1991-1993. Though my time there was not long, I definately enjoyed the time spent in Holy Loch and being the last boat to leave there. I stayed on board long enough to ride her around to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for decom in 1993 and was part of the final crew release. Your video did bring back alot of memories it gives me goosebumps and makes me smile to see alot of things from pictures. Excellent video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for all of the great memories... I guess I was just ahead of you - Arrived at Diego for Boot in Nov '73. Graduated from Sub School in April '74 - Made 5 patrols out of Rota on the George C. Marshall SSBN 654 (G)
Transferred to Diego to a Diesel Boat Sailfish SS 572 - A WESPC on the USS Haddo SSN 604 and ended up taking the Spadefish SSN 668 to the Newport News Ship Yards - I mustered out in April '78 as a TM 2 (SS) - I thank God for the experience...
My older brother's first SSBN was the "Valley Joe" 658. He was out of Charleston SC for a while. Then he went to Kings Bay until 2004 when he retired. As far as I know he was a weapons control from 1983-2004. He did not tell me to much of what he did. I did not ask.
I made 6 patrols on the teacup and was on the Blue crew from 1973-1976. I was a nuke and I was very interested to see these pix. They brought back fond and some not so fond memories. I retired in 1993 as a Master Chief.
I was on the blue crew from 1979 to 1982 and did 4 patrols including the 50th for T-Cup. I was an SK2 when I left and retired SKC(SW/SS) after 20 years. Submariners are the best of the best! I really enjoyed the video. Wow, brings back alot of memories. I am glad you took so many pics, otherwise we would only have our fuzzy memories, pics are better. Thanks shipmate!
Good vid!! I spent 6 years as a C-4 Missile Tech on the Simon Bolivar. Did a missile shot DASO and 6 patrols. Included in the patrols was a 4 missile ripple OT shot. Also spent time in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. BTW, the C-3 carried more than 6 warheads. IIRC the usual payload was 10 rentry bodies. And the 48 and 37 torpedoes were not nuclear armed. Those quals get fuzzy after 20 plus years. LOL!!
Thanks for dropping by fellow BubbleHead. Your right, it was the Mk 45 torpedo that had a nuclear Warhead. We carried two of them for my first few patrols. Your also right, things can get a little fuzzy after 30 years, but yet some things seem like yesterday.
