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 |
