Scuttlebutt
means water fountain or, in Navy slang, a rumor
or gossip.

Here's an interesting e-mail that I'd receive from one
of our association member in California |
Jose,
I am attaching a article that appeared in
today's newspaper. I thought
this may be of interest to you
and the Association. One of the ships
that they are moving
to scrap now, appears in the video taken aboard
Holland. The
ship with the weeds growing on deck is one of them.
This article reminded me that we passed a resolution at the
reunion
business meeting to send a letter to MARAD
requesting that the
Association be notified of any changes
to Holland's status at Suisun
Bay. By the sound of this
article, they are starting to remove ships for
scraping.
Holland's move may be some years away yet, but you never know.
I will be going out to the Reserve Fleet again
next Tuesday, Oct. 27th.
I do not think we will be going on
board Holland. I am to do some
videoing for a survey of
machine equipment aboard the Tulare AKA 112,
for the Hornet.
This survey will take all day.

Jose, Found this
picture online.. Commanding Office
of the USS Holland Oct, 1967 to
March 1969. While he serviced on The
USS Bergall around 1947. Thought
you may find it interesting..
Lt. jg "Navy Bob"
Steele with his catch during the
stay in Alaska. Gene Beaumont
adds..."Was that taken when Bergall
stopped at Kodiak after her under
the ice trials in 1947 and several
of the representative fishermen flew
to the mainland and brought back
representative salmon which all the
fishermen on board Bergall had their
pictures taken with: or was that a
real catch by Navy Bob?" "Navy
Bob" replied... "That was a 13 pound
Dolly Varden trout that I caught in
NalNeck Alaska and brought back to
Pearl Harbor. We cooked it at the
Quonset Hut we lived in at Monoloa
Ridge Naval Housing. That had been a
Naval Hospital during the war. Our
Skipper, Tom Kimmel and his family
lived there too."

The first "issue" of All Hands was printed as the
Bureau of Navigation News Bulletin No. 1 (dated Aug. 30,
1922). Twenty years later, the title was changed to Bureau of
Naval Personnel Information Bulletin. As America claimed
"Victory in Europe" on the cover of June 1945, the magazine's
new banner read, All Hands, and the name stuck.

Rattled Old Chief |
 |
|
The Navy
Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him, "Get over here!
What's your name sailor?"
"John,"
the new seaman replied.
"Look, I
don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they're
teaching sailors in boot camp nowadays, but I don't call anyone
by his first name," the chief scowled. "It breeds familiarity,
and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my
sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker,
whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Chief'. Do I make
myself clear?"
"Aye, Aye
Chief!"
"Now that
we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The seaman
sighed. "Darling, My name is John Darling, Chief."
"Okay,
John, here's what I want you to do ......."
