I was the leading Radioman RM-1, 63-64.5! When the Marshall was selected to go to home port in rainy State Washington to train reservist, something I had done for 2.5 years on my earliest ship, USS Kenneth M Willett DE354, I swapped with an RM1 on the
USS Hull DD-945 and went to z Vietnam in 65!

Al Myers here, Sonarman on the USS Marshall 1951-1954,
What great memories, still in touch with a couple of shipmates>
Learned a lot about life, it all helped in my future. We had a great crew,
three deployments to the Korea, we did well.
