Donald Duvall MT1(SS)ĭoes this mean another patrol? Can we bag the Charlie Brown skipper and get back "Big Red" Mike Pestorius? JOHN CHOCANAS MT2(SS) Never been a better boat or crew in the fleet. I served on the MGV for two sea tours and a shipyard in Charleston. Went west of the 180 paralell and south of the 0 latitude.

I installed the ships patch in the crews mess made out of 720 pieces of linoleum tile. One of my fondest memories are of the time I spent on the Vallejo. Long periods of boredom interspaced with moments of sheer terror but would not have missed it for anything. Hovering valves failed and safties did not shut vent valves. Was auxillaryman on watch when we almost lost her due to flooding in missle compt. Sorry got e mail wrong first time, thank you for starting page brought back many memories.
Was plank owner and remained on board till after she moved to Charleston, nice to see she got her own web page. Thanks for this website, you can be sure I'll be checking in often. Served under RMC Steve Manchur, who went to CNO's staff as next duty post, lost track of him. Guthe, for first three patrols, became ill, was replaced by 4 striper from Pearl, (sorry, forgot his name), then fifth patrol an ex fast attack skipper came aboard, was much fun. LCDRĬame aboard in Feb 1967, blue crew, right out of sub school, made first five blue crew patrols, left boat (and Navy) in Nov 1969, enjoyed boat/crew very much, still some of the most challenging and fun days in memory. Tom Sugars MM2(SS)Ĭurrent duty station: Physics Instructor US Naval Academy Next duty station: I have orders to relieve the XO on the USS Tunny (SSN 682) in October 97. I served with the Blue crew from 1973 to 1975, starting with overhaul and refueling in Newport News, VA and finally to Charleston, SC. Great page! I am a guest here my boat was the Stony J SSBN 634. What an experience, it had been 25 years since the last time I slid down the AMR-1 ladder! Oh yes, I was on the con the night Wille took the "famous shark through the periscope picture" I have an orginal! Thomas Muckle QM2(SS) John Dornisch MM2(SS)ELTīoarded the boat prior to it going to Washington and the scrap yard. I also served on the gold crew for the last patrol they made in feb 94. Served on board the Vallejo blue crew from May 93 till they singled up crews in Apr 94. I FOUND A BUNCH OF FAMILY GRAMS I GOT ON BOARD HER THEY WERE NEAT. GLAD TO SEE THE PICTURES AND VERBAGE ABOUT THE "VALLEY JOE" I SURE HAD A GOOD TOUR OF DUTY ON HER. Great work Jimmy and crew much appreciated and much needed to rekindle old memorys. This would also allow the city time to organize anything that they may be willing to provide/do.
I suggest next summer to allow for planning by all possible participants. (Stan) Jones SKC(SS)Īnother thought on the reunion. Plus, San Fran is a big airport and (relatively) inexpensive to fly in and out of. Suspect that might provide various discounts and benefits. If so, we ought to involve the Chamber of Commerce. Keep up the good work! I am pondering the reunion possibilities.
