You were a Gurnard retard? LOL, Just kidding.

Gurnard was one of the Squadron 3 boats I used to work on. I seem to remember they were mostly a bunch of good guys, but there were a couple of serious mishaps that i can remember...vaguely.

I was on between 1976 and 1980 - we were the hottest boat in the fleet then. Had 3 skippers, Chiles the longest - He ended up an admiral he came on after the north pole run.

I was one of the few that received two commendation from him for actions above and beyond the duty.

We did end up in a place that I have another commendation from that will stay in history. I think we won every peace time award to a sub then. Guess why they made him admiral.
