Years Served: 1963 – 1965…Worked for the Navy at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Phila. from 1965 to 2001
Years Served: 1956-1959…I was assigned as a FTSN to the Barton docked at Norfolk CE piers in early 1956. I have many memories of my duty and saw many interesting things; Mount 53 exploding on the Pierce while in the Med, a ship sinking off the Virginia capes, ships being sunk in the Suez canal, taking 63 degree rolls in bad weather, the Shah of Iran touring her while in Abadan and many others. I will always remember my years aboard her. I now live in Colorado and am retired.
Years Served: 1963-1964…I really had a great time aboard the Barton. Ask anyone who knew me.
