Oh, BTW, USS AMERICA 1985-1989....AG1
Small world :>} One of my GQ stations was directly underneath Photo Lab LOL. That's where the extra A/C unit for the Lab was. I hated it. The hatch into the passage did not have a scuttle and SEAMART {I think was the name of it} right next too the equipment room was locked LOL.
I got out at the end of the 80 overhaul. I usually worked in AC&R A-Gang but did T.A.D. to Boat Crew as a make shift engineman and also volunteered T.A.D. to Fire Department twice. FD was established as a permenant division in 1979 on the ship. Before that the HT's worked all fires below decks.
