The Goat Locker CPO Deck Log 1995


This is the older part of the Deck Log. CPO email addresses are available by clicking on the CPO's name. CPO Homepage links are provided where available. I also have a separate listing for CPO email addresses. Please note that all email addresses and Homepage links worked when placed on this page. Overtime some may not work due to Chiefs changing their Internet providers. You can save the file and use your browser to view it off line or you can view it with any word processor. Use your browsers "find" or "search" command and search for shipmates by rate, name or command.

Name: Ed Bruette CWO4, (Ret)
Comments: Great page! The BZ's I saw in the deck log are well deserved. I was particularly pleased to see the picture of the "Big T" (Triton). That pic was taken in the mid 60's as she was exiting Hampton Roads (Norfolk). As I remember, we were headed out for a spec-op. She was put out of commission in May of '69 and was towed to Portsmouth, Va. where she sat until about'93. She was towed thru the Panama and then to Bremerton, Wa. where she sits in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard waiting to become scrap. Even though she had a short life, a grander lady never got underway.

Name: FTCS (SS) James M. White (RET)
Comments: I entered the Navy, bound for Aircraft carriers, in 1961. I went aboard a carrier. I went aboard a Sub. I was hooked. I traded orders with a buddy (all's fair, remember). After 'A' and 'C' schools ( I was taught the Mk 56 gun fire control system, as there were no torpedo fire control schools available), I was bound for the USS TUNNY (SSG 282) at Pearl H arbor. She wasn't to be there for 10 more days, so it was to be aboard the USS BARBERO (SSG 317) for the wait. When the TUNNY arrived, and I boarded her, my life was changed forever. She had fought in WWII and had a proud history. And, she was older than I was. She was, also, stronger, cleaner, and much better than I was. The TUNNY was home for 3 great years. If I had not been aboard her, I probably would not have stayed in the Navy. Then it was on to the Nucs (after a short spell in a school designed for Sub FT's at Damneck, Virginia. First aboard the USS Henry L. Stimson (SSBN 655B), from launching plus 6 years. Then to teach at Subscol NLON. Then on to the USS Andrew Jackson (SSBN 619B) for 3 years. Then back to Subscol NLON for another 3 Years. I retired in 1981 from Subscol
