This website has brought back some really good memories.

I'd like to hear from all my shipmates that were on the Mighty "D" during my reign.

The Diodon was my most memorable times in the Navy.

I'm now retired and living in Silverdale, Washington. Still working with the Navy at TRITRAFAC Bangor.

They call me the Old Timer here because there are very few who can say they served on a real submarine - a Diesel Boat!!!!!!!DBF
