USS Andrew Jackson Home Page

Welcome to our site, dedicated to the USS Andrew Jackson SSBN 619

There were times when she rode high like the proud lady she was and times when she limped like the old gal she would become, but she always stood tall enough to get the job done. Her place in history as one of the "41 For Freedom" may be unknown to most today and becoming only a clouded memory for many others, but for those who rode her on patrol she will always be the source of great pride and some unbelievable "sea stories".

We are losing our crew!
The most difficult part of maintaining this web site is receiving emails about the passing of our shipmates. Though I try to keep the "Eternal Patrol" page current, I realize that the list is getting long. With that in mind, I will start posting the most recent notices of departures that I get.

USS Pompanito SS-383
(Click here)
This site takes you on a complete tour of the USS Pompanito, SS-383. It is a true virtual tour of a WWII Fleet submarine with the ability to zoom, rotate up, down, left and right. The detail of the photos is amazing; sharp enough to read the gauges in each compartment.

It's large, but if you have a high speed connection it's worth it.
