that is Senior Cheif (RET) Paul Drummond. He was on the shipback in the 80's, not sure of the date. He went t owork for CSI doing training manuals, and was on board this day taking some photos, and invited us to take a tour of the ship. It was on a Saturday, will the ship was having some repairs at Mayport Naval Station, Jax., Fl.

My buddy's name is Paul too, Paul Drummond, not sure what years he was son the ship. He has since retired and as of this vid, he was working for some company that wrote training manuals for the Navy, now he has moved to Alexandria Egypt, doing fiefighting training for th Egytian Navy. A great tour guide! Thanks for the kind comment!! Take care!
