My dad retired as a saturation diver from NSWC Panama City. I’m a UFO geek and I always joked about how if they ever found a wrecked craft in the sea, they’d send someone like him to retrieve it. He would just go 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ lol.

I do know that dad did a lot of disarming mines and fun things like that. He must have been good at his job as he was still around when the war ended. I did not inherit his patience, oh how I wish I had those genes from him they would have been useful a time or two. Thanks for commenting and the best of luck to you.

I could never do any of it. Armchair thought: this is a cooler job than a SEAL, man verses nature, instead of man verses man. Super technical, daring, kind of hipster version or SEAL. Much respect from a life-long-civilian

My dad did diving in the Navy in the 1930's and through WWII he did not talk much about it and even less about WWII. We have photos of him suiting up in an old fashioned Hard Hat suit and it seemed he was diving off his ship to do things not in a specialized diving team as He was always on Destroyers most of his career, specifically the Paul Jones and the Parrot at least during WWII where he was in the actions in the Southern Pacific but don't ask once was enough he had no desire to relive any of that what with the Kamikazes and all. I guess I can't blame him and I did not care much back then either but now I wish I had known what he did exactly. My mom was with him in the Philippines and China in the late 30's and caught the last boat out for the states. Quite an eye opener for her a city girl suddenly living in the jungle in a house on stilts to keep all the critters out, for the most part.

John, everyone loses people close to them in a conflict. You did the right thing by not pushing to hear your father's recollections. He obviously had a lot of pain and loss, so it's natural not to want to relive those experiences. All my relatives who served, never spoke about their experiences. I don't either. However, if you know what ships he served on and when, I believe that logs and after action reports may be online and searchable. Those would give you a good insight because they are often very detailed.

TAD... He mispoke as it actually stands for temporary assigned duty, not temporary active duty. Good insight though. As someone who works in the propulsion plant I've definitely had to hang diver's tags on various breakers to make sure they can't turn on while they're down there. There's more than just the propeller, as the hull is lined with seawater suction and various discharge points.

It sounds much like the Royal Australian Navy’s Clearance Divers. CDs are combat trained for beach assaults, ship attacks, demolitions, etc. Back in my day 35+ years ago we always deployed with at least one CD onboard, but we also had “cuff rates” of Ship’s Divers who performed more mundane tasks. I nearly became a Ship’s Diver but got sick just before I was scheduled to fly to Sydney from Perth for the course. I didn’t get that opportunity again because of an injury. I’ve done a Christmas deployment though. Christmas Day 1989, we spent in Hong Kong. There was a USN ship on the opposite side of the pier. Their duty personnel looked on while we all had a big party and got drunk on the upper deck(apart from our duty watch, that is)! Some of us went over to say hello. Some of our divers were working on the screws of an ANZAC class FFH recently off the coast of Japan and were pinged by a Chinese vessel. Only minor hearing injuries reportedly, but still… Today I heard on the radio an unnamed Australian warship has transited the Taiwan Strait… 😂
