Tender:

USS Hunley AS-31

Comments:

The USS Hunley also went to Guam to relieve the Proteus AS-19 sometime from 1966-1969 I served on board her from 1964 - November 1969, a long time. In the Chief's quarters they had a plaque showing a picture, along with the names ,of the CPO's that rode the Hunley over ( I was one of them). A lot of CPO's flew over in advance to get things Ready for when we got there. I sure would like to have that plaque or at least a copy of it. The Hunley has not had an reunion that I know of???????

Comments:

I operated out of Guam from 1975-1980 for 5 patrols on the Theodore Roosevelt SSBN 600 Gold and 2 patrols on the George Washington SSBN 598 Blue. Tis a fine line between freedom and the other possibility, the line is so fine at times that it is hard to see the steel that made us the defenders of a nation. Alway remember, that it took all of us to ensure our freedom. Bob Heath MT2(ss)

Comments:

I was stationed aboard USS Queenfish (SSN-651) during the early part of your tour. While waiting for Sub School to start in New London, I spent two months on board a tender in Norfolk. I was the Supply Officer on Queenfish, and remember that SINS gyros were always the hot item just prior to a patrol -- along with garbage weights -). Garbage weights always seemed harder to get, too -) Grant

My Father-In-Law Rogger E. Tiefenbach, who is 88 (in 2006), was assigned to the USS Canopus AS 9 when they scuttled her in 1942 and was subsequently Captured on Corrigedor. He was a Prisoner of War until the end of the War. He recorded what happened to him by engraving on his Mess Kit bowl All the significant events that occurred to him while in captivity-A Fascinating story! If you have any information about the USS Canopus AS-9 or other contacts I would appreciate an email. Thank You....... Robert Kapaska and Rogger E. Tiefenbach
