At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

Good to hear that the old Beefalo is still steaming around.

I joined her in 1985 at Pearl Harbor, made her first 2 WestPacs. Only boat I rode that wasn't older than me at the time.

Had lots of fun with Midshipman David Robinson, his roomate, and the Sports Illustrated gang that followed them around for the 1st week of their cruise with us. As I recall, the COB issued them both hardhats and shinguards when they first came aboard.
