I served on this boat for 4 patrols as a junior officer on the Gold Crew in the 70s. I also spent time on other George Washington class FBMs including the George fish herself. What a life. Being married was out of the question. I remember some of the younger men who weren't long married would go home after a patrol and the wife had completely gone. Nothing left at all, maybe just a memory. The routine was still the same as seen here.

Served on the blue crew in the early seventies. First out of Holy Loch, Scotland; then Rota Spain; then PSNS, Bremerton WA; then Guam. Served as Fire Control Technician (FTB) responsible for the operation and maintenance of the computer systems used to launch "Fire" sixteen Polaris Missiles. Served in the Missile Control Center (MCC) with totally cool dudes like Tim, John, Stan, Bernie, and Carl. At that time, I was known as Charlie.

USS Robert E Lee, folks today would freak at that name even though he was an amazing military leader, who took military strategy to new level. Defeating an Army in battle twice his numbers. He just choose his states side, which many people did at the time,over the Union.

Just chose his state’s side? Holy Christ junior, Hitler was just defending his fatherland I guess. Hirohito was just annexing Manchuria with raping and pillaging, “which many people did at the time”. Uh Robert E. Lee fought against and killed hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens - that’s called a TRAITOR. God, the bad takes on KZitem are AMAZING.

The old joke about submariner comes to mind. 0ne hundred ten men go down. Fifty five couples come back. Because of my proness to seasickness, I considered taking a sub rating but I didn't think I'd do well it that environment. As cramped as a surface ship gets there's always a chance to go outside if just for a few minutes. That doesn't happen much on a sub. They truly earn their pay.

The SSBN Stonewall Jackson, USS Hunley submarine tender, USS Dixon submarine tender, and the guided missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville. A really, really messed up system forced upon the Navy by corrupt, racist southern politicians who held funding purse strings in their hands.
