Great work Earl!

Found website with the help of Chet Headley.
Brings back a lot of old memories.

Whatever happened to Calypso Charlie and Herbie?

Great site, Earl. Brought back a lot of memories. I was an ETN2 SINS tech, and reported aboard the Bowditch the day the ship pulled into Bethlehem Steel Shipyards in Hoboken,NJ Nov 68. I'll look around to see if I can find any old photos to add.
Cheers.

OcDet1 EMO as Ensign. A year in the North Sea. Blue Nose Feb 26 196, Stupid, into the Ice in Feb.

Later USS Compass Island EAG153 1965 to 1967

Have lots of pics and info about USNS Dutton that I would be happy to share. Much info about the Palmares, Spain incident with the nuke(I was there.) Hollis ST-2

I recently found this website and am amazed that some of this information and material is still around! Had an unforgettable year on the Michelson and would enjoy hearing from any of the personnel-all old retired guys like me by now-with whom I shared the Pacific experience!

Great site that brings back many rememberances of the good old days. The T-AGS ships were a once in a life opertunity for truly unique duty.

I have some pictures to scan and will send them along

You did a great job putting this website together! I have learned more about these ships than I learned when I was aboard the USNS Michelson.

I had a great experience aboard the Bowditch. I will see if I can dig up our crew photo. I do know we did not wear our dress whites.
