Years Served: 1957 to 1959…I and my brother Harold were one of eight sets of brothers serving at that time. I was a BT3/2 and he was an EMfn/3rd. Loved the Bearss!
Years Served: 1957-1959…I served in the Fprward and after fire rooms. My brother Harold was an Electricians Mate aboard at the same time.
Years Served: 1954 – 1956…Proudly served on USS Bearss from 1954 to 1956, following boot camp, working up to RM2 before transferring to the first destroyer tender, USS Shenandoah, AD26, where I got my prize, the promotion to RM1. Bearss was a fine ship with a great crew. She weathered well in storms, and took us to great places around the world … an experience like no other. I have a framed photo of Bearss hanging permanently in my den. Would like to hear from folks who served in the radio shack.
Years Served: 1955-1958…I served as an Electricians Mate on the Bearss from 1955 to 19558 with two Mediterranean cruises, a Northern Europe cruise and a Carribean Shake Down cruise. Good time and a good experience as it was a peace time era.I’d like to hear from some shipmates who server during that time period.
