Welcome to our site, dedicated to the USS Andrew Jackson SSBN 619

There were times when she rode high like the proud lady she was and times when she limped like the old gal she would become, but she always stood tall enough to get the job done.  Her place in history as one of the "41 For Freedom" may be unknown to most today and becoming only a clouded memory for many others, but for those who rode her on patrol she will always be the source of great pride and some unbelievable "sea stories".

USS Pompanito SS-383
(Click here)
This site takes you on a complete tour of the USS Pompanito, SS-383.  It is a true virtual tour of a WWII Fleet submarine with the ability to zoom, rotate up, down, left and right.  The detail of the photos is amazing; sharp enough to read the gauges is each compartment.
(Thanks to Sam Eddy for the link)


Please take time to read this poem and pass it on to everyone you know.  It's time the people in this country understand the sacrifices made by out troops and their families.

I received this from Brian Spalding.  It's a 3 meg. wmv file. A tribute to all our hero's.
It's large, but if you have a high speed connection it's worth it.

What's New
Bill Lary has suggested that I start a page for sea stories.  Not that any of you guys would have any.  So here goes.  Send me your best.  But, make my life easy, please, do them up, nice and neat in "MS Word".  If it isn't a book that I have to re-type, I will take other formats for those of you with only a pencil.  Send them on.
