I served aboard the Dutton for over two years. I had the pleasure of serving with some fine men. If I had it to over, I would choose the very same crew.

I spent a year on the USNS Dutton and met some fine people. With the help of the ET's I installed the first SSB transmitter and on-line crypto system. Great tour. I retired from the USN with 30 yrs active on 1 April 1992. Would love to hear from some shipmates.

Married an Irish girl in Belfast. Had 5 kids and got divorced. Rotten marriage. Got off the Dutton in Palamaris Spain whilst the hunt for the missing H-bomb was still underway. Anyone heard from Frank Martin or Bogdanoff?

Boarded the Dutton in Abijan Africa, sailed six months in the South Atlantic with stops in Rio, Recife, Curacao(a month there) and back to Abijan. What a ride!!! Hope to hear from others from the Merchant Marine or Navy.

I was contacted by Jim Bitter. A blast from the past. He referred me to this site. Just a lot of good memories. Now I have to look for photos.

For anyone interested in Bergen Norway, there are lots of web cameras placed on the Bergen Newspaper site, BT.NO and also on the BA.NO. doing a search for Torgallmenningen will bring you to the BT.no site with a video camera of the mall area and you can check.

Missed the Dutton in Yokosuka but rode the Hess to Guam to crossdeck. Served as Nav LPO until Oct 84 New Orleans. Returned to Dutton as GI Tech Rep from 7-86 Guam to 3 88 Ivory Coast. Anyone remember Barnies Beach Hut in Guam? Moose McGilcuddys and the Monkey Bar in Hono. In Rio when Bowditch almost sunk...what a mess. The poker game every night underway in Supply - many thanks to Gary E. Ahh, who can forget hitting golf balls underway up on O-4. Me, Gordo, Manning, and others on the bow when we ran aground in Curacao. Transit through the canal, twice - slept through the first on. Any idea where Bill Truslow (Gravity), Megan Hughes (Gravity?), Gary Esposto SK1, Johnny Pence ET1(SS), and Sir Ed Gauthier are these days?

I sailed as AB for about a year and spent the time with some great guys. Especially Leroy Everett, the baker. What a character! I was lucky to have known them all.
