Years Served: 1956-1958…I served aboard the ship as a FireControlman 3rd class in the 37 system, my GQ ststion was Sky One Radar in the Mk 37 Gun Director. I left the Navy as a FT2 but was called back during the Cuban Missle Crisis in 1662 two months short of my 6 years obligation. What a year in HELL.

I was aboard the Philip DD498, (1966&1967), and transferred to the Fletcher DD445 in 1968. Took both to the Mothball Fleet in San Diego.
