Welcome to the USS Blandy DD-943 Guestbook Forum

I served on Blandy from May 1962 til May 1965. Went on as EMFA and Left as EM2. Would love to hear from any shipmates who remember me. I was leading electrician for about a month during GITMO cruise.

Served 1975-1979 on Blandy. Med cruise 1977 and Mid-East 1978. Served as Boilers Officer during overhaul in Boston 1976, ASWO till Sept 1978, then CICO. I was very proud of our performance in the battle group as an outdated destroyer, we had a crack team! We defeated two Los Angeles class submarines in 1977 (thanks to SCPO Dupuis), passed our Operational Readiness Exam in 1978 with a score of 96, and had a upper 90’s gunnery score at Bloodsworth Island in the Chesapeake in 1978 (97%?). This was the best team I have ever been on in my lifetime. I have used this ship example countless times in my after career in industry. A true example of good leaership, Blandy was always back!

Served on board 1964 1965 I was a ships cook CS-3
