Served on The USS Orleck DD 886, 1968 to 1972. Want to know if a Blue Shipmate Thomas Brown passed away a few yrs. ago . Tom was a GMG 2 and served sometime in the late 60’s. He was on the Blue for the WES PAC 66-68 cruise. Tom served on the Orleck 1969 to 1970. Would add his name to the Orleck Memorial Roster. If anybody know this, please drop me a message. Thank You.
