Served on Odax from 61-63, looking for shipmates from that time. If you served during that period please email and we can compare notes. Great website and guest page. God bless you all.

I transferred over to ODAX from Clamagore in 1958. I was an SO2. We went on one of the great cruises of my 12 years in the Navy. We hit Gibralter, Pireaus Greece, Naples, transited the Suez and stopped in Aden for some serious liberty. When some of the crew tried to smuggle booze aboard it was thrown overboard and with the sharks circling no one tried to save it. We ended up in Karachi which was under martial law and I had Shore patrol just about every night. One of the guys took over a bus on one night when I stayed aboard and crashed it. We spent half the night with the Corpsman sewing people up on the mess hall table. On the way back home I turned 21 as we went back through the Suez canal. I also found out I had made 1st class. Lt. Plato was the best XO I ever served under Of the four Submarines I qualified and served on I had the best time aaboard the ODAX .

I served on Odax during '62-'63 in the engine rooms.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all Shipmates.

My dad "Francis J. Farino, Commanding Officer" served on the Odax in the late 1960s. He passed away in early 2001. My sons and I are looking for pictures of him on board; please let us know if you have any to share. Thanks!

I was the Radio Operator on U.S.S Odax when she went around the continent of South America in September/October 1960, during "Operation Unitas." I'm Old Huh! .....

We sailed out of Charleston, S.C.

Is there anyone else out there still alive, that was on the boat then?

My grandfather "William H. Adams" (W.H. or "Bill") served on the ODAX from 1948-1952. His rank was "GMC". If anybody remembers him or has a crew list, please let me know. I am in the process of researching his Naval career (1938-1960). Thank You for all of your help in advance!

Still checking your great site now and again.

I hope all of you Submariners like the new guestbook.
We believe this will help cutdown on all the spam!

This is great I ran across it looking for reunion info.
