Re: 1961 Plankowners [nt]

Ahoy Mates,
I also am a 'Plankowner' and would enjoy hearing more info about the group. I served aboard from 61-63 in both E-Div and the V-2 Div.
I made the the trip around the 'Horn' and the shake down cruises to 'Gitmo' as a EM in the A&O division.
I think I still have a couple of Cruise books from the first WestPac and the Horn trip.

Re: 1961 Plankowners [nt]

Did any of you know who worked on the boilers there in Philly ? I was told my dad , H.C.Thomposn, was asked to work on them but have not found out any specific info on it. He retired from the Navy in 57 sometime and worked at the ship yard afterward. He could have gone by Tommy or Pete. Do any of you recall anything like that ? I was told that the whole system had to be changed. Does that sound familiar ???
Thanks for any info.
Sandy
