- Jim, Thanks for passing this on to me. It's truly an
excellent site. It's
good to see you and others are keeping the history and
culture of "the boats" alive. Keep me informed if you
organize any SBU or CSBR reunions. Best regards,
Tom Campbell [C.O. SBU-12
and CO of SBR-1 - Jim] |

Mike Price RMC - I read your story.
I remember RADM Richards quite well. I deployed to Korea for
either Team Spirit or Foal Eagle (I went to all of them for
4 years) when I was CPOIC of NSWG-1 Mobile Comm Team and he
was Team One's CO. I saw your pics & remember seeing you
when you came in for drill weekends and I had SBR-1 OOD
before I put on the "Hat". I was with Rorey Towne on his
deployment and will forward the "complete" Malaysia trip
story soons as I have time to write it out along with a
couple of SOC memories. I had some great times, met some
great people and, I hope did some good work. I like to think
that we had a big part in getting SWCC to where it is today
and am quite proud to have been part of that lineage. I
don't have many pictures of those days. Unfortunately I lost
a bunch of that stuff during a PCS move so some of Rorey's
and Mal Flisk's pictures are real memory joggers. If you
want to know who yer talkin to go to Roreys SBD story and
look at the picture of the Det on libs in Olongapo, I am
front row, 3rd form the left (With goatee). (To the right of
LT Colvin)
I'll be in touch, and great job with this
site. Run, Shoot, Communicate - Mike Price

Spratt (Biography
Here) Here is a couple of photos I
scanned. Two are the effects of running the boats in
the oil slick. There are two are pix of Thanksgiving
barbecue on the pier at Ras Al Mishab. And last, I'm
adding two pix of the swari (sp) patrol boat that
was in Kuwait Harbor the day of the cease fire. I
believe the gun on the front is a ZSU-24, like the
one that SBU 12 had in their old compound.
