His first duty assignment was Machinist Mate School. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the USS Mis- souri (BB63). After a short tour, Don was assigned to the oldest battleship in commission, the USS Mississippi (BB41). His next duty station brought him to the USS Midway (CVB41), which was the largest aircraft carrier at that time. After two years, Don was transferred to the USS Roosevelt (CVB42). From there he went to the USS Gilbert Islands (CVE107), a small jeep carrier. After one year onboard, he was transferred to the Donner (LSD20), an amphibious landing ship. After one year aboard the USS Donner, he applied for, and was transferred to, Submarine School. Upon completion, he was assigned to the USS Sail- fish (SSR572), a radar picket submarine. From the Sailfish, he entered Nuclear Power School and on graduation, assigned to the USS George Washington (SSBN598). He was onboard when the Washington fired the first successful Polaris Missile. After three patrols on the George Washington, he trans- ferred to the USS Hunley (AS31), the first submarine tender built from the keel up for Polaris submarines. After commissioning, he spent a little over three years with her at Holylock Scotland. He then transferred to the USS George Washington Carver (SSBN656) pre-commissioning crew. After her commissioning, Don transferred to the pre-commissioning crew of the USS Queenfish (SSN651) as the Chief of the Boat. Don was discharged in November 1968.

  • Days Numbered for Clamagore Sub at Patriots Point
    Days numbered for Clamagore sub at Patriots Point Ashley Heffernan Jan 31, 2017 The USS Clamagore submarine was decommissioned in 1975 after 30 years of service. (Photo/Ashley Heffernan) The only Guppy III submarine in the United States open for museum tours may become an artificial reef off the Florida coast. For now, the USS Clamagore, a more-than-320-foot submarine that was decommissioned in 1975 after 30 years of service during the Cold War, is rusting in Charleston Harbor at Patriots Point. The price of admission at Patriots Point includes a tour of the submarine, but Executive Director Mac Burdette estimates that only 25% of visitors do so. Instead, most visitors go to the sub’s much larger neighbors, the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier and USS Laffey destroyer. Patriots Point doesn’t have the estimated $6 million it would take to renovate and restore the Clamagore, and, if it did, the return would likely not be worth the investment, Burdette said. ―If we had $6 million sitting in an account somewhere that wasn’t obligated, I can tell you right now, I would be recommending to the board that we spend that money on the Yorktown because that’s what sells the tickets here,‖ he said. The Patriots Point Development Authority board voted last year to give Artificial Reefs International – USS Clamagore, a subsidiary of Miami-based CRB Geological and Environmental Services Inc., exclusive rights to convert the Clamagore into an artificial reef. On Jan. 10, the company secured 25% of the $4 million needed to make that happen.

    reaching the limits of their search area, ENS Reid and his navigator, ENS Swan decided to push their search a little farther. When he spotted small specks in the distance, he promptly radioed Midway: “Sighted main body. Bearing 262 distance 700.” PBYs could carry a crew of eight or nine and were powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 radial air-cooled engines at 1,200 horsepower each. The aircraft was 104 feet wide wing tip to wing tip and 63 feet 10 inches long from nose to tail. Catalinas were patrol planes that were used to spot enemy submarines, ships, and planes, escorted convoys, served as patrol bombers and occasionally made air and sea rescues. Many PBYs were manufactured in San Diego, but Reid’s aircraft was built in Canada. “Strawberry 5” was found in dilapidated condition at an airport in South Africa, but was lovingly restored over a period of six years. It was actually flown back to San Diego halfway across the planet – no small task for a 70-year old aircraft with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The plane had to meet FAA regulations and was inspected by an FAA official before it could fly into US airspace.
