| At random: The late Capt. Don Ulmer, USN SS (Ret.), and noted submarine author, began his military career by enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1947 and in 1949 while serving as an electrical technician E-4 aboard the submarine USS Clamagore, he was transferred to the Naval Academy. When he asked his commanding officer why he was being sent to Annapolis, the skipper replied, "I don't think you're smart enough to make E-5 and I need the bunk space." Ulmer graduated in 1954 and in 1967 returned to command Clamagore, possibly the only officer to command a U.S. warship having served on it as an enlisted man. |

Master and Commander Posts: 1269 Location: Hopewell Junction NY | Subject: 1964-2017 Our oldest G'Daughter, SUNY NEW PALTZ, NY art student Jenna, is on a trip touring London at the moment checking out galleries & museums. Prior to her departure I was showing old photos, one of which was taken when I was in London in Oct 1964. Sea Robin was visiting Gosport and I had just Qualified SS upon arrival. Three of us hopped British Rail for a w/e in the city. I said that it would be so cool if you could take YOUR photo at that same spot on the Thames. Google Maps provided the necessary logistical information and the following photos appeared on Facebook yesterday. The responses have been overwhelming.
