SSN 680 Plan of the Day

SSN 680 LOGROOM ARCHIVES UPGRADED

Work continues relentlessly on the ssn-680.org website, one of 393 Cold War submarine websites and part of coldwarboats.org family of websites. Much neglected during the growth activity of the last six months, the situation is improving.

The Logroom Archives have been brought up to current standards, with AI improved large images and documents converted to easy to download pdfs. Every archive has been upgraded, including:

  • Commendations
  • Correspondence related to Congressman Bates and the boat.
  • Crew publications including the Redfish Rag and Deep Doodles.
  • Miscellaneous artwork, things, junk and stuff.
  • Memorabilia - the Ry Lord collection
  • News articles over 30 years.
  • A SSN 680 Piping Tab
  • A variety of Ship's Qual cards including yours truly
  • A variety of Ship's brochures: launching, commissioning, welcome aboard, change of command, and inactivation
  • Ship's Post Office: covers and stamps over the years
  • Sounds of Boat: ship's alarms, HP blow, torpedo shoot, and the ever dreaded rack curtain opening
  • Watchbills: ORSE schedule and forward in-port duty watchbills

It is an incredible collection of artifacts that frame our life on a Cold War submarine, and will literally take you back to your days on the boat, with more memories than you dared imagine.

You must be registered and logged in, but head over to the Logroom Archives on www.ssn-680.org, and you can experience your own personal memories.
If you have any of the above-mentioned items that you'd like to share, please PM or email me so we can preserve these for all our shipmates to enjoy.
