Navy Nuclear Weapons

I found this website shortly after my father passed in August 4,2010 (he is buried at Florida National Cemetary) and took some comfort in stories here. Though I don't think he joined your organization(he was disabled) he served his entire 20 year career (1946-65) in W Division on ships and SWUPAC for instance and rose to Senior Chief. I tried to send email through webmaster shortly after his death but failed.Thanks to all of you.

I'm Looking for people I served with at Clarksville Base from late 62 through 64. Specifically anyone who can verify a severe had rash I had in Feb. 63. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas Season.

Yes, that's me. Still here in Coffeyville,old & fat. Check roster for email address.

enjoy much reading about NWs I was in SWULANT, served on the Ticonderog, Coral Sea and Intrepid if anyone still around let me hear from you

Thanks to all veterans for your service. I also would like to convey special appreciation to those of you who served with William A. Petry and shared your comments about him. Uncle Bill was my hero. We lost touch when I was a youth, but your words have helped me know him much better.

First class of GMTs after the switch from NW. AUW 0403, Whidbey Island NAS from 1961 to 1963. Looking for Galen Hunter, Lee DeYoung and Barry Hingle or anyone else from that time.

Hey Dave, Yeah that was quite the drive. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. I now live in Central Texas, most likely will die here. Ive been here for 14 years now.

Was one of those 0891 ASROC people that somehow wound up at Building 850 instead of at the Torpedo Shop on the NWS proper. Learned a lot back there, came in handy on NTPI's/NWAI's when I made it back to the destroyer Navy.

Just found this site and I see lots of familiar names. Hard to believe that it has been so many years since I was in A school at NWTGP in 1978 then on to the Connie: 78-82 then Yorktown:82-85, then LY Spear 85-86, then Enterprise 86-90, then SWFPAC 90-92, then out and on to Grad School and my new life. Just a holler out at all yall.

This Navy Weapons Tech. was listed in the Greenville News Obits today. Thought someone may have known him.http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/greenvilleo...

Awesome site.....brought back fond memories. I left the Navy in 1987 after serving on the U.S.S. Canopus in kings Bay, Naval Weapons Station Charleston S.C. the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. What great times and shipmates.

Hi
I am an Atomic Veteran who served on the USS Curtiss AV-4 1953-1955.
I participated in Operation Castle and Wigwam.
I would like to invite all to visit my site listed and our USS Curtiss website.

I came across this group by chance. I never thought I would ever again see some of the weapons I worked on. B-43, B-57, B-61, ASROC, SUBROC, Terrier, Tomahawk. They take me back to Code 24 in Charleston (Bldg 850 in POMFLANT), the REB shop on USS Hunley(AS-31), and USS Dixon(AS-37).WOW! I miss those days to be honest.

pictures of ASROC on photo page all seem to be with TORPEDOs. As I remember the Depth Charge was shaped much different that the photo's shown. more stubby and wider at thge top.
