65.0. "HELP LOCATING "TIFFIES"" by AIMHI::P_LANDRY () Wed Jan 17 1990 21:07

    My last three years of active duty (USN) was at Dam Neck, Virginia
    Beach as an instructor for the Polaris Navigation Computer system
    called NAVDAC.  We were involved in the training for the Royal Navy for
    the startup of their equivalent of the Polaris sub program.  We trained
    the original crew for Faslane as well as some of the "tiffies" going
    out on the Repulse, Renoun (sp), and the Dreadnaught.  We enjoyed many
    on and off duty hours with the Royal Navy staff and students during
    their time at Dam Neck.
    
    Over the years I have tried to locate two of the students (computer
    types) and have had no luck.  Perhaps some of the UK readers may know
    these blokes and be able to send me their locations.  I don't know what
    their actual rates were, it goes back too many years, but their names
    are Roger Parrish and Barry Deacon.  They were at Dam Neck between
    64-67.
    
    Thanks to anyone knowing their whereabouts.
