Served aboard May 1958 thru Oct 1960. Great site.

Chuck, your website is fantastic! I arrived onboard the Implicit in Dec â??68 (SMSN) and departed in June 1970 (SM3). It was the most fun I had during my 4-year hitch. I spent over an hour perusing the pages of your site and pondering the great photos that bring back memories I didnâ??t know I had. Thanks Chuck for your dedication in putting together this very informative and pictorial piece of our past.

Served onboard 88-91. Leading Chief and supply.

I am glad someone had it together to take some pictures, they are great! Brings back a lot of memories. I have been in close contact with Tim Sewards (signal man) since I left. I have also spoke with Robert Melby about once a year. Tim Sewards and I met X O Chris Biggalo in salt Lake and had a great visit with him. I remember Joe Verlico..."Hey, your Red Sox finally won the big one!" I am still waiting for my SF Giants! Also spoke with Capt. Strickland in Florida, and he is doing great. Thanks for the great website Chuck!!!

Great website. I served onboard the Implicit from 1983-1987. She was homeported in Tacoma, WA at the time. A-Gang / Fuel & Water King. Regards, EN2 Bruce Robtoy

THANK YOU for such great website! I could believe my eyes in looking at some of the places I had visited, between 1969-1972, but failed to take pictures. I visit your site on a regular basis just to recall those ports. I was on the USS Navasota AO-106, long gone now!

Your site has the honor of becoming my 12,356th "favorites" site. Thanks so much for documenting those wonderfully free days of my yoiuth. I served aboard the Whippoorwill (MSC 207) out of india basin Sasebo from June 68 till I transferred to the USS Firm (MSO 444) out of Long Beach in I think 70'.. I last came ashore in Hawaii as the ship was in transit back to the US after a westpac cruise, and I was home in Burien Wa. by the time she reached Long Beach. All in all, a thing to remember. Peaceout

I have been looking @anything pertaing to the USS Dynamic and ran onto this site. I was so pleased to see many of the sites my husband had seen at about the same time as these pictures. My husband was CO of the Dynamic 68-71. I was able to see the chair he sat in on the Dynamic/ My husband died in 2005, I know he would have enjoyed these pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your memories.

Your site brought back so many great memories. God BlessShipmate. Antwone

Ships Corpsman from 1979-1982. Great ship, Great sailors. Lots of great memories, one of my greatest tours in the Navy....

Still my favorite command after serving 27 years in the Navy. I was on Implicit from 85-89. Lots of great memories.

Wow--super site and terrific pictures! I served aboard the USS INFLICT as a storekeeper from 1956-1959. great shipmates-great ship-great navy.

GREAT site! I just stumbled on it looking for old shipmates. I have bookmarked it to add to the others from our little ship era. Many thanks for bringing back many memories. Floyd Farrar, EM 2 USS Inflict MSO 456 1959-1962

I was an ETR3 66-68. Pictures are GREAT. I remember Joe Verlico and Steve Booth. Still live in St. Louis, MO. Go Cardinals!!!!!

This sight is a joy to behold! I hit the decks of the USS Inflict MSO456 in Apl. 74 and danced with the haze-grey lady from Guam to Portland Me. It's great to her at sea and before she was extended and given the SQQ14 sonar system too. I'll recommend this sight to any ole swab jockie, not just the sweep-sailors!

Chusk; I really enjoyed your Implicit web page. It sure brought back a lot of memories on this Memorial Day, I was the XO from June 61' to Feb 64' We came up with the " Wooden Ship- Iron Men" motto and the original palque- themailed fist crushing an exploding mine. We (MinDiv91) made the first deployment to Vietnam in 1962. A real fun trip--we were told to "patrol" and that was about it. So, we made up our own patrol plans and reported everything we saw moving. We also managed to wrap Persistent's anchor chain around our port shaft in Da Nang harbor. Does anyone out there remember that fiasco?

Hi, Nice to see the photos. I serven aboard the USS Leader and the USS advance during the time 1965-1970. Lots of memories. RMC Larry Wiens USN retired
