Years Served: 1946 TO 1949 ON USS KENNETH D. BAILEY DD713…I WOULD NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR THE YEARS I ENJOYED THAT I WAS ON THE BAILEY.
Years Served: 1953&54…I came aboard in the shipyard in Boston when it was being recommissioned, I was a BT3 and was in the after fire room. I really enjoyed my time aboard.:)
Years Served: 1956 to 1959…Served as an ET 39 months on the KDB when she was DDR713. Made two Med Cruises and moved the home port from Newport RI to Mayport FL. Great ship and great crew.
Years Served: Nil…I am Lawrence Gatt from Malta. It appears that she was in Malta in 1968. I live in Selmun limits of Mellieha and I have found a Zippo cigarette lighter at my farm with the engraving of Kenneth D Bailey DDR 713. Perhaps there might be somebody who recalls having left this memento to a local.
Years Served: 1966-1968…Served from early 66 to late 68. BT2 in the forward fireroom working for Fred Fields most of the time.
