"There is a picture on various websites that show the "Hass" in bad
weather alongside the USS Preble in Feb. 1976. Many have the comment that
says it was "trying to refuel the Preble". Well it did refuel the
Preble, about 30,000 gallons as I remember, from Station #3 and I was the
rig captain. Then I was a BM2 and LPO of the USS Hassayampa (AO-145) 1st Division.
And a few months later I was given several pictures from the
Captain for souvenirs. The "Hass" was my best tour of duty in 20
yrs in the Navy. The "Hass" never tried to do anything, it
always did its job."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century
what he did to make his life
worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
'I served in the United States Navy.'
