Good to see some of the crew I was there from 89-91 B Division. Funny once I saw Petty Officer Salias I remembered him right away! I was on that deployment and have great memories of Brest France. Hope all of you I remember are well! Thanks again BTFN Charlie Siebert
Don Klim DC Shipfitter shop 69-70.Thanks for posting this. Such a calm feeling out there in the middle of nowhere, just calmly drifting along. Now I want to see one when it was UUppp, downnn-BANG, UUppp, down-BANG..... So sad she is no more. Thank Again
I was a plank owner on the Simon Lake, enjoyed the many views in this video and it is a tribute to all the crews who ever served on her, clean and well maintained all those years later. Gary P. Clark TM2, also the helmsman for Special Sea and Anchor and other times at sea. Sure beat the hell out of the old USS Bushnell AS-15, for space and smells. Also was on the USS Hunley AS-31 as I was too short in my enlistment to stay in Holy Loch. Didn't like the Hunley near as much for several reasons not the fault of the ship.
Served on Simon Lake 73-76 in Rota, Spain. HT2 in R-1 when I left the ship. Surprised there were no watch on the open bridge. That was my duty station when out to sea. R-1 stood starboard watch forward of the signalmen shack.
Served onboard the Grant Blue when the Simon Lake was in Holy Loch. That one scene, is that the Flag Bridge beneath the bridge? That was were my dolphins were pinned on. after my second patrol.
Thank you very much! I was sooo excited to see this! I was onboard! I think I was Galley duty then! Lol I'm from Denver and a big Broncos Fan and in part two at around 1:05 min in front of Post Office somebody yells something about Elway, and I think they were referring to me! Can't make it all out though. thanks again!
Hi, I'm the one who got volunteered to admin this as well as the SimonLakeAssociation.org website as I get time. We were on her at much the same time. I came aboard in Bremerton in 1970 and stayed on until I got out in 1972. I was a DP2. I wish the quality was better, but I think it is still good to see her and remember.
Hi, I'm just take care of the website and the CZcams channel when I get stuff to post. If you search the Simon Lake Facebook pages you may find the original folks who made and posted the video. I'm glad it took you back home for a little while. I think it does for all of us, but especially those that were on when it was made.
Love it !! Was on her from late 79 till 81. Worked in the 0202 plant for awhile. Thanks for the video and the memories. A-Gang was the best!!!

Repair Dept on a Sub Tenders the best sea duty in the Navy. Those fleet Sailors didn't call us Tender Pukes for nothing. USS Dixon AS-37 1987 to 1993.
USS Orion AS18, 86-88 in La Maddalena, Italy. R1 nuke welder. It was pretty good duty..

I believe you are correct. Glad it brought back a good memory for you.
I wasa kid in the 1960,s when she was stationed in the holy loch ,Scotland.
My dad Ollie McCloud was probably with you, I have the zippo and pics from Scotland
I was 12 when this was taking place. I joined the Navy six years later in July 1995.

The galley looks different I was part of commission crew served from 64 to 68 Wayne Krumvieda SK2
My uncle Wade Harriger served on the Simon Lake as a dental Assistant in the early mid seventies. Very cool to see.
I think I served with your uncle as Dental Tech from 1978-1981 name sounds familiar 👍
I remember Wade ,in 1977 the onboard dentist and Wade made a partial for me, they were both very pleasant guys to be around.
Hey! This is PC3 Linder! I was onboard for this cruise! Was this the Le Harve France Port call? Thanks 4 putting this up! Wow
Hunley in Holy Loch and Simon Lake and Canopus at Kings Bay I. The early 80s.
