Enjoyed my time on the Holland. Good Duty. Would like to hear from anyone who was in the Data Processing section while I was there.

Did pre-commisioning detail. Took her to Rota and rotated back stateside to H. W. Gilmore after berthing her stern-to. Still cherish my plankowner certificate and color photo of her. Have my comissioning Zippo lighter (engraved) to this day.

I was assigned to the Holland when it was still in Mississippi at Ingels Ship Building.  I missed the commissioning because I was TAD in Holly Lock on the USS Hundley.  I got back in time for loading and the trip to Rota.  Quite a trip with a storm in the Atlantic.
