"This picture of the Bergall was taken by Lt. Les Jacobi during our shakedown cruise as we pulled into the pier at Fredericksted, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. The person whose head can been seen on the bridge leaning off the starboard side might be me...at least that's what I have told people. " (Pat Murphy)
Inactivation Crew
USS Bergall, SSN 667

"On behalf the crew of USS BERGALL, I extend a warm welcome to today's inactivation ceremony, the culmination of twenty-six years of faithful service in the defense of our nation. We are proud of BERGALL’s superior reputation and her many accomplishments.

This ceremony is a tribute to the ship and it’s crew as she prepares for decommissioning. Today, the ship’s colors and commissioning pennant will be lowered and the watches secured as part of the ceremony. These solemn proceedings are a salute to the success of the ship and the men who sailed her. We are glad you could join us to witness this historic event."

Her final decommissioning was on the west coast of Washington State...

She served us all so very well.   Her stories and deeds will be secret for many years but there's one thing we all know...
What she needed to do she did... and her crew can be damn proud!


That's the commissioning skipper, Billy Tally, attending the inactivation of "his" boat.
