Recovering the velocimeter. Jim Stuckart, his always laughing face (with glasses) is to the left of the guy in the red shirt. The fellow operating the winch might be John Kritch.

Dutton's high tech life rafts get a drying out. These look much more effective than our old wooden life boats!

Motley Crew Identified

Enlisted Berthing Area Passageway

The starboard passageway in the OcUnit berthing spaces, 2nd deck, No.3 Hold. This is all Navy enlisted berthing. The red drapes are at the door of the Lounge (see the photos in this album). On the right is the door to the Security shack, where we stood security watches while in port. We could control access to the OcUnit berthing, recreation and work spaces from this point.

The Big Stateroom

The six-man Navy enlisted stateroom. This was my stateroom. The door is to the head.

Red Head

The red-painted head of the six-man Navy enlisted stateroom.
