I love this song and play it on my acoustic guitar

Is the Warrant Officer seen in the center of the frame at 2:02 John Walker or is it just someone who just looks similar to that traitorous SOB?

I was stationed on the Hunley Jan -June 1971, Charleston, then transferred to George C Ma rshall. June 1971 and made my first patrol from Holy Loch. Neat location.

If I have the numbers right, Kerry would have joined the Hunley in 1981 or 1982. As far as I know he was on her when she was in Guam. To bad in a way, being half Irish I think would have appreciated the opportunity to learn about Scotland firsthand. That man loved learning about everything! God bless you all!

I was stationed aboard the USS Proteus AS-19 over in Guam from 88-91. It was nice to pics of the Old Pro from there. My wife’s uncle Roger Brown was stationed aboard the USS Woodrow Wilson SSBN-624. He retired from the Navy. We would talk for hours about our time in the Navy and when anyone would enter the room we would stop talking. Sadly he passed some years ago. Thank you for the memories.

That was beautiful… brought tears to me eyes

I loved being stationed there. Miss those fish & chips

But the video doesn't answer the most important question: Feri's or Anselmo's for fish and chips. I was a fan of Fer's myself. I was there for refits on USS Andrew Jackson and USS James Monroe.

I was an Opticalman 2nd Class on the Proteus from 1962 until she returned to the US. Best time i've ever had. I'm now 81 years old and think about that experience often. Last year (2023) i took my wife to Scotland for ten days. Stayed at an old hotel in Greenock. We rented a car and revisited all my favorite places. Took the ferry across from Gourock to (close to) Dunoon. Visited ardanadem (sp) pier, ate lots of fish and chips and fell in love all over again with the wonderful people. Boy, was i lucky to have lived then !

I was stationed at a Navy Weapons Facility on RAF Machrihanish, a bit to the south of Holy Loch as the medical department representative. I made weekly visits to the clinic at Holy Loch to get my patients seen by doctors and dentists as needed. I was there from 1991-1993 at which time I retired with 26 years and returned to my home state of Minnesota.

Proteus 1981-1982 Guam. I recall the countless hours repairing those old and tired B&A cranes.

Stop wasiting our tax money

Every once in awhile I come back to this video to t reflect and reboot. It was a lifetime ago but an indelible imprint in all that has shaped my life. To be young, part of something far bigger than yourself, and to be given the training and responsibilities that only now I fully understand the size of, makes being a veteran the one thing I am most proud of!

Made two patrols out of there in 1969 on the USS Patrick Henry SSBN-599G

What a wonderful light he was.RIP DANNY.

AS34 son of WT Jones here.

one of scotlands best singing artists ever

Served on Simon Lake December 1988 to Jan 1991 in R-1 Division, 56a Pipe Shop. Great place to be. Loved being there even though the workload could be overwhelming at times. Great job with the video.

I was on USS Henry Clay Gold crew from 82-86. Made 8 patrols out of Holy Loch, including an ERP in the middle of the winter. That was pretty miserable.

My dad was stationed there in the late 80's where he met my mom. My twin brother and I were born in Greenock. Loved visiting Dunoon with my parents in 2012. Great memories. Thank you for this video.

When they went to AMERICA the played in a small club nearly all black people , who were a bit apprehensive about These white boys playing blues , by the end of the night they wouldn’t let the off the stage

I know i have left this same comment on other videos. But i saw an interview of kirwan not long before his passing in which he said that he was lucky to have played with Mac at all. Seems to be the other way around to me. He contributed more than any other single member of the band while he was in it.

I’m one of the oldest posting here I think. Have not seen or heard or even one of my shipmates. The USS HUNLEY is gone and so are a lot of us. I’m 77 this year and I’m so grateful for the memories of my Navy days. Chief Dearman, EM2 Valdetera, EM2 Lutz and EM3 John W. Milby are the people I remember the most. We worked hard and worked well together. God Bless us all.

USS HUNLEY AS31, I reported for duty as an E-2 electricians mate in February 1966. We were only there another 5 or 6 months and the Simon Lake came and took our place. I was 18 and couldn’t believe where I was. Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would get to visit this beautiful place and meet such wonderful people. Frank Applegate EM3, 1965-1968.on the AS-31 the whole time.

I was on the Hunley AS-31 from 1979 -1981, R-5

Diver aboard the USS Holland AS-32 from 1975 - 1977. Great memories of the people and the town. Had a flat up at the top of Mary St. Many pints and much laughter at Berts, John Paul Jones and the EM club. Well done on the video.

My dad served at the Holy loch site late 70's i think, his name is Tony Lytle and was a hull technician but im unsure of rank or which ship he served on. We lived in (a married quarters i think) in Dunoon at the time and my younger brother was born there too but its fascinating to see these images. In later life i grew up to serve in the uk navy for 6 years, must have been in my blood lol. Great video 👍

First long walk down that pier was summer of 1987 to the USS Lafayette (SSBN 616). Last trip down that pier was the day we started bombing Bagdad in 1991 leaving the USS James K Polk (SSBN645) for the final time.

I was on the Simon Lake for two years in Holy Loch. The Scottish people are the best there is. Years later, when I worked in Hollywood as an actor/ screenwriter, I wrote a film script on the wonderful times I had in Scotland, and the charming people I met..

I was there on the Dry Dock part of 62, all of 63 and part of 64. Jerry lambertson en3, ran the boat shop with Sam Mormando under Chief Pepe. A lot of memories.

My husband was on a sub that was refitted in Holy Loch. I am a military brat but my dad served in Vietnam but I love looking at photos of the area where my spouse was docked while in service.

Love the Huey helicopter 👍

I was stationed aboard the USS Los Alamos AFDB-7 for 18 months in 1981-1982. It was a great time for a single 19 year old. Lots of trips to Glasgow and London. I had a flat in Greenock for about 6 months.

Hunley 81-83ish. Rubber and Plastics shop. Someone mentioned it was the hardest working site in the Navy. That’s the first time I’ve heard that before, but I believe it. My shop was always busy, but I know the R1 guys were 12 on 12 off 365… I always wanted to tell the locals how much I appreciated them putting up with us. We were a lot…. I visited Dunoon and Sandbank few years ago and it’s still beautiful. A lot of memories hard work, and hard play…

That small town, was the size of a city even in those days. It should be remembered that it was one of the biggest ship yards ever, Browns shipyard built many of the huge ships. I served there too only for the U.K. navy in Faslane that had a floating dock and the Maidstone depot ship. I was part of a special diving team there and actually went to Holy lock on a few occasions to dive, i spent two years there.

He got better with every FM album. This reminds me of the sunny early spring of 1972. A great guitarist that didn’t get his due.

He put out some wonderful solo albums as well.

Based on a famous poem.. haunting beauty from Bare Trees. The Rumors crowd barely know this epic music exists!

ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST....Bare Trees is awesome..

I was Crew of Stonewall Jackson ssbn 634 1979

Untouchable

SSBB-635(B)… 1981-1983.

The Incredible Danny Kirwan….

Was on the Will Rogers Gold Crew from '90 through decom in '93- IIRC, the WR Blue Crew was the last boat out of Holy Loch.

The magic of a black night

Greetings! Love the intro part and music like from 🇰🇷 korean drone pilot!

Thank you for putting this together and sharing it.

My old man loved Holy Loch!!! He served on the Nathanael Greene 75-80. Heard plenty of stories about the fun those knuckleheads had. RMCM Hank Jusko

88-89 625G. The hangover still hurts...
