Dave Brown FTM2, Mk 152 Computer/Tartar Missile
Greetings to all the past crew members.
I was an FTM2 on board from 1974-1979 and worked on the Mk-152 Computer in Tartar Division. (Incidentally, I was also doing that mid-ships high line and remember the "stuck pelican hook" as a much scarier affair than even Bob Thomas describes!!!) I remember many rough days at sea where the computer room hosted visitors trying to escape the endless rolling and pitching. That room, being aft, low in the ship, and over the keel, seemed to move less than anywhere else. We plopped on the floor in misery munching saltines and moaning about our sorrowful state.
So where are Replogle, Middleton, and Hamilton?
I've also got a photo from 1979 or so of an (I think) OS who was a short-timer and had Jonathon Livingston Seagull drawn on the inside bottom of his hat but I can't place the name....anybody know?
