Years Served: 1943-1946…I’m an original plank owner. I Enlisted in the navy (in New Jersey) in 1943 and after boot camp in Rhode Island was assigned to the Lewis Hancock DD675, a new ship. We fought in the Pacific until just before the war ended. We were actually in port in California, (the first time we had been back to the States), on the day of the Japanese Surrender.
Years Served: 31 yrs in A.F. Reserve…Looking for info on my Dad who served on the Lewis Hancock DD 675 during the 50’s. Richard Coblin Harp was a Yeoman.
Years Served: 1953-54…RD2. Came aboard in a swap in Jan. 1953 in Yokosuka just before the ship left for Newport via the Suez Canal. Swapped in May 1954 to USS Remy (DD688) to go on another round-the-world cruise.
Years Served: 1951-1954…I was on the re-commishing crew 1951 I was a DK departed Aug 54 Made many friends, but no longer have contact with any, would love to hear from any-one who served at that time. It was a wonderful experience made better by good shipmates
