Robert J. Spane

ADM Spane was the Executive Officer during my time aboard USS Enterprise. I was a Reactor Mechanic and Reactor Training Leading Petty Officer. I had to take a qualifying mechaninc to Captain's mast but before then I had to talk to the XO. Our encounter left me with the impression this man was firm, but fair. A great Executive Officer. Everyone of my trainees told me he was an even better Commanding Officer. Rest easy, sir. We have the watch. Fair winds and following seas, Admiral.
