Served on the Dirty Dick from 1959-1961 as a BT. Would love to hear from anybody from that period.
From the Artic Ocean to Valparaiso, Chile, both canals (
Suez and Panama) . Red Sea, Shatt-Al -Arab River (Iran and Iraq). We were everywhere, well almost everywhere, during my time 1956-1958 aboard the Dickson, DD708. Lots of memories.
My Dad, Cdr. William B Regan proceeded your father as CO of the H.R. Dickson 1967-1969
Served a short tour in late 68-early 69. Stayed aboard as regular crew as we went to reserve status. SK3. Transferred to USS Boston while at south annex in Boston for west pac cruise.
On Boston for about 6 months then transferred to civilian.
