“Howard” Haines Brown, in the Control Room

While in the Navy I used my first name, Howard, although otherwise I've been known as Haines (my middle name). I currently live in Hartford, CT, retired after thirty years teaching history.

I was ET1 SS, with a specialty in radar. Shortly before the time of this photo, the boat acquired the new passive sonar which was a chin mount (of course knocked off during a dive in the Sound), and also about this time our first venture with electronic countermeasures. The old WWII vintage equipment was being updated, although I can't say that about myself.
