I served on the USS Bushnell 1961 thru 1963. I worked out of the hole, the repair shop below the machine shop, as an MM/FN, made MM3 before transfer to advanced sub school repairman training.
I recall several of the older submarines, like the Balao and her pink primer paint, the filming of PT#109, the Thresher repairs, ect.

I was on the Canopus 1968/69 in the Hydraulic repair shop. I made MM1 on the Canopus. Jim

I served aboard in '68-'69 in Guam with great memories of working under the subs and salvaging the B-52 that crashed off of Anderson AFB. Have located a few buddies (Mike "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, Brad "Doc" Ingles, Jim Plooster, Mike Johnson, Chuck Erickson) and we held our own small reunion last year. We are looking for a few others: Chris Brewer, "Mac" Mihalek. If you have any info about them, drop me a line. Much appreciated. We bid adieu and god-speed to John "Ben" Benedetti and Ron "Rock" Wetsteone.
