My rating was RT3rd class but I received specialized training as a sonar projectile repair specialist. Aboard Oct. 1944 to Fremantle, Australia. Can't recall surnames of fellows or even their given names or nicknames. They have retreated to the distant past. Any help??

Comments:

During the time that I served. I was lucky to take the Land to Diego Garcia, as well taking the Holland to Guam.
I did spend 6 years on the Holland(86-92- A-div), the Land (80-81- M-div). So,.. I can say that I have a couple stories. Write if y'all want to swap a couple stories.
