Years Served: March 1970 – September 1971…I reported on Board the USS Hamner in March 1970 as a 3rd class Electricians Mate. Went on West Pac from Sept. 1970 to March 1971. I was separated from active duty in Sept. 1971 when the Hamner was in The Long Beach Shipyard for Overhaul. Great Duty! :)
Years Served: 1974 – 1976…Was in 1 Engineroom and 3-M Coordinator for awhile. Two of the more memorable events for me were: living in the Royal Inn Hotel during the yards – how many Navy types got to do that? and the time Hamner, Orleck & McKean blew the Enterprise and her battlegroup outta the water during exercises off San Diego. And I think it was Admiral Tidd who said of the action If I wasn’t there to see it, I wouldn’t have believed it! Great crew – enlisted and zeros. Portland was great! But those transits down the Columbia – #$%&!! Anyone can get a hold of me at: honcho13@comcast.net Fair winds and following seas, Larry Goulet MMCS USN

Years Served: 1953-1955…I’m not entirely sure what will be the result of all this, but I always enjoy hearing from HP folk…
Years Served: 70-71…Be happy to hear from any of my old shipmates from that year. I was looking at some old movies of our crossing of the Equator. That was a fun time.

Years Served: 1961 to 1961…had some good times, had some bad times aboard the powell. I would do it again. I sincerely hope that all you that served are healthy and doing ok. It’s been a fast 50 years. best regards to each of you, JERRY DUNSWORTH, QM2
Years Served: 1952-1954…Glad to be on board!!!
Years Served: 1962 – 1965…We always had extra grub in CIC although very little space to stash it. I remember the broken shaft and the long days in dry dock. Loved the West Pac time but don’t miss the GIANT insects in Subic Bay.
Years Served: 1962-65…I have a few bad memories of my years on the HP but most memories are good…especially the 63 WestPac cruise. It was great right up until the time we broke a shaft between Midway and Pearl Harbor and limped the rest of the way to Pearl. I also remember some great times in the Radio Shack and wonder what ever happened to some of those guys. There were some great characters on that ship and I still can picture the 686.
