October of 1975 Tiger cruise. My grandfather and I were on the last cruise from Hawaii to Alameda! My father was an E-7 so we got to stay in the chiefs quarters! I think HC1 det 1 or 3 was his squadron? Watched the fly off and weapons exchange. Played volleyball and football on the flight deck. Had bug juice. Still fond memories and I was only 7. My dad retired from the Navy Oct 1984 AVCM Greco from HSL-41 out of Coronado.

Years Served: January 1969 – March, 1971

Two & 1/2 Half West Pac Cruises with Phil !!!

Ron, I am John McCormack, AE-2, Check Crew, 2 & 1/2 Cruises. I worked closely with Phil Canty daily, from January 3 1969 until I left the Navy on March 7, 1971. We did 4 Da Nang Deployments together over the years. He was a hard worker and he worked harder having a good time in his off duty time!

I have been living in coastal North Carolina for the last 11 years.

It would be great to hear from you, but via this web page, that really is not possible.

My name is Kathleen and I am posting this on behalf of my dad, Tommy Wheeler. He is not aware that I am doing this; however hearing his stories about The Navy, I know he would like to reconnect with his former shipmates. My dad served 1959-1963 – if I remember correctly. Please contact him at his email attached or you may contact me at the following: mt8_kwheeler@yahoo.com. Thank you.

I am a former Hancock crew member and I have a cruisebook from the 69-70 deployment that I would like to give to someone who served aboard at that time. I was the Public Affairs Officer on Hancock’s last Westpac in 1975, and I am not giving up the cruisebook that my little office produced! :) The 69-70 book was given to me, so I am not looking to make any money on it. If you can show me that you either served on the ship for the 69-70 deployment or had a relative who did, and can assure me that you do not already have a cruisebook, I will happily turn it over to you. This comes with a curse: if you turn around and sell it you will go straight to Davey Jones’ Locker!

My Father ‘Ray Argubright’ kept a journal aboard the Hancock WWII
I put together a photo journal along with photos of individual crew members that served aboard in WWII. You can download the free journal at https://payhip.com/b/6Tyc And if you have photos of family members who served on board at this time and want them included email me at hancockww2@gmail.com
