I remember both of them. I was on the Soley in 61and 62 EM3
Served on the Soley from 63 to 66 as shsn until late 66 then made sh3 and was transferred
My father passed in 1991. He served 1951-1955 Korean Conflict, Gunnersmate 3rd class. We enjoyed looking at the 2 World Tour books with him as kids and the ritual of crossing the equator. My mother still has an official ship portrait which is next to his flag. We remember all who served and those who have fallen.
Without his shipmates, I would not be here. Thank you all.

Looking for info on Michael Kline who served aboard the Soley from 7/31/62 (transferred from DD-654 Baress) through the Cuban Blockade. He passed away a few years ago, and I’d like to find something for his son. Something that would show he was aboard (possible log entries?); info that could be included with a Soley plaques. Mike was Navy to the end. I noticed a couple postings by people from the same time period; maybe they knew him.
I served aboard the soley from 1953 to 1956 in forward fire room BT3
