Boats on or visited?
Visited Pampanito, Torsk, a Gato next to USS Massachusetts (as a kid), The Soviet rustbucket in Seattle (we were wary of these guys?).
Worked on too many to list, 651, 639, 688, 683, 687, 684, 724, and all Atlantic 640 class and Pacific fleet 726 class boats. Spent too many birthdays and weekends on Aspro (648), Florida (728), and Louisville (724). |

Submarine Service USS Ronquil SS 396
I served aboard the USS Ronquil SS 396 for three years beginning in 1967. She was in her Guppy III mod at that time, ie extended sail. Also did a day of duty aboard an HMS submarine in an exchange program out of Yokuska Japan. Did some daily ops on Roncodor, Dentuda, Bonefish, Wahoo and visited many others as we were nested in San Diego CA and Yokuska Japan.

Razorback and Ronquil Sister boats
Ronquil was the sister ship of Razorback SS 396 I had the experience of visiting Razorback as she was deployed with Ronquil during the Vietnam War. We operated out of Yokuska Japan. They both had the Guppy III mod. Ronquil also was reassigned to the Spanis Navy in 1972.

The USS Boston SSBN 703. The HMCS Ojibwa (before she was retired). I was also on the museum ship HMCS Sackville K181, which is the last known flower class Corvette in existence anywhere. I have been on more surface ships by comparison though.
