- BILL TRUSLOW - |
Bill Truslow worked for NAVOCEANO from 1980 through 1989. He served aboard USNS Bowditch, USNS Dutton and USNS H. H. Hess as a gravity rep. Bill reports that between January 1984 and September 1989 he spent more time on the Dutton than he did at home. He sailed on the last trips of both Bowditch and Dutton. Four months after leaving Dutton Bill retired from service with NAVOCEANO. He now lives in West Virginia. |
