Welcome to the USS Moale DD-693 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: 1951-1952…I was in Repair Division FN. I wore a gear on my arm, part of A Gange. Our room had a lathe that took up most of the room. We were in charge of all aux equip on board, 2 diesel engines, air compressors, etc. The whale boat engine also. It was used for duty liberty. Stood top watch in engine room forward. My first buddy was Harry Jacobs from Fort Smith, Ark. Sure would like to hear from him. Later my buddies were Don (Skip) Boyle & Dave Ratajczak. I cruised around the world, spent 4 months in Korea Sure met a great bunch of men. Now I’m older (76) & would love to do it again. Willard (Bill) Bishop

Years Served: 1963-1964…The time of my life. Young, invincible, gung ho, a little crazy. Wonderful memories of some truly great officers and men. Any of you remember a mutt we picked up in Malta and aptly named DAWG Did a lot of growing up with the rest of the Sonar techs in 3rd division and used many of the things I learned there in later life.

Years Served: 1964-1967…I started my career on the Moale in November of 1964 right out of RD school in Great Lakes and came aboard as an RDSA. Served with Bernard Tubman, Walt Uhde, James O’Donnell, Charles Creech, Gary Smith and Chip Dawson. Worked in CIC as a Radarman and ECM operator and for awhile had the duty of keeping all the charts up to date. There are many old friends and comrades I know I’m forgetting. I hope to make a reunion soon.
