what ships have you been on?
 

just wondering to any navy, cadet or military people.
what ships have you been on or served on?
ive been on( with ccf)
HMS illoustrious
HMS YORK
HMS fearless

Only served on one, USS Kentucky SSBN 737 Gold crew. Been on quite a few tour boats though. USS Bowfin, USS Pampanito, USS Nautilus, USS Midway, U-505, Russian Foxtrot that's in San Diego now. Been on other Tridents as well, but usually to beg, borrow, or steal something so we could get out to sea.:haha:

Only visited ships, and I might be missing a couple..

SS-Drum
USS Alabama
USS BB-35 Texas
SS-Cavalla
USS James Stewart
U-995
UC3 Nautilus
Saelen
Peder Skram
Sehested
Does a DUKW count? :D

every ship in Fall River...
Nautilus (SSN-571 ((Who else wishes they would pull the reactor and open the whole boat up?)))
Every ship in Mystic Seaport..
uhm
the U-505 (shame they cut it up the way they did though, it's a german speakerbox with a history now)
USS Intrepid (the Growler wasn't there though)
USS North Carolina. ( I wonder if anyone messed with the settings in the after 16" turret, I had that thing bored in on the coast guard ship moored across the Cape...with the backup shot computer in the turret itself)

I do of course want to go and see the rest of the museum ships, including the russian boat in SF and the Torsk (my mom works in Baltimore, so close yet so far)

I guess we are talking about military ships here, since ive been on many passenger ships :haha: ... Anyway, i've been on 2 historical ships of the Hellenic navy, the Fletcher-class destroyer "Velos" and on a 1911 pre-dreadnaught battleship, the "Averof". Both are anchored in Athens as museum ships. Averof fought in the Balkan wars and WW1 and served in WW2 as a anti-aircraft platform.

I've been on (partial list, as best I can remember...)

All the ships at Battleship Cove in Fall River, MA (Lionfish, Massachusetts, Joseph Kennedy, etc)
USS Pampanito, San Francisco, CA
HMS Victory, Portsmouth UK
Frigate "Rose", Newport RI

Juliette 484, Providence, RI (only a few months before it sank)
USS Nautilus (not at sea)

Before 9-11 we used to get a lot of ship visits and tours when I lived in Boston:
USS Simpson (FFG)
USS Biddle (CG)
USS Guam
USS Saipan
USS Bunker Hill
HMS Ark Royal (they had a wonderful napkin folding exhibit)
USS Fulton
A Mackenzie class DDH (HMCS SASKATCHEWAN I think)
USS Aylwin (or another Knox-class FF... they let me play with aiming the ASROC launcher)
USS McCloy
USS Kennedy (CV-67) (took me two tries, the line was 6 hours long the first time!)

And thanks to my Dad working on some historical research with Captain Tyrone Martin, I got a chance to go out on one of the turnaround cruises of the USS Constitution. That was a real high point!

And most recently, I just got a tour of the USS Virginia. Seriously cool submarine.

A paltry list, but I've visited:

USS Cavalla SS-244
USS Texas BB-35
USS Lexington CV-16
USS Stewart DE-238
U-505

At the end of this month, I'll be able to add the USS Pampanito and USS Jeremiah O'Brien to my list. :yeah: I'll even be able to say I've sailed on the Jeremiah O'Brien, as we're going on the Memorial Day cruise. Can't wait!

USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887) for nine months of my life. Visited a lot of ships while stationed in Long Beach, but I can't remember any of them.

I've never served in the navy. But I grew up in the city of Plymouth, home of the largest naval base in western europe (HMNB Devonport). So I saw many ships and subs and i have even helped built and refit a few ships and subs while i was an apprentice fabricator/welder. So as you can imagine, i've been on quite a few ships and subs.

The most famous ship that I've been on ( and I'm not old enough to have helped build this one :03:) is HMS Victory. .

I served on two boats, both fast attack:
