Boyd Nightenhelser getting dolphins from Capt Ross in 1981	Boyd Nightenhelser ET2(SS) receiving Squadron 18 Commendation from CDR. Bajuk on mess decks	GCM presented by CDR Bajuk. ET2(SS) Robin T. Meredith to my right in background.
Key loading Tridents in 1981 in St Mary's.	Charles Bell 1980	Submitted by Charles Bell - 1980. This is a photo of some reentry bodies from a Trident C4 missile launch test my crew did. The captain gave us all a copy of this. Its supposed to be of several different types of RBs reentering the upper atmosphere taken from a high altitude aircraft. One RB was supposed to have been designed to do some kind of maneuver to evade being shot down. I hope I have the picture oriented properly.
The next 20 pictures were sent in by Sammy Shuford and are from the last patrol before the yards in Newport News. It appears to be a halfway night celebration or they could just be sloppy eaters,

EIC working on charts	Kirk smashing trash	This was January 1985, when Kirk received his 3rd class chevron. The only person in the picture that I remember is the guy behind me, wearing glasses, I think his name was Cato.
Chris Kajellin, brother to James, was always clowning around. He and I got a Bravo flag and an old Poopie Suit and made a flag that resembled a Clemson flag. Our Navigator (Cmd.McWilliams) graduated from Auburn and hated Clemson. So we made this flag and hung it in the Ward Room on his birthday. He was mildly amused.	Kajellin with the infamous flag	Chief Chris McCool as Diving Officer Of the Watch. He had been on watch for so long that the Doc brought him an IV (as a joke). We were short handed as Quartermasters and Chief had to fill in as QMOW and DOOW with back to back watches.
