My dad Thomas j Boylan served from when the ship was commissioned until the end of ww2. He told me he was the youngest on the ship 17 years old
My father Tom Joyce served on the USS Taussig during WW II. He was 32 yrs old at the time and he had all white hair. I think he operated a sonar machine. He passed away in 1978. I am hoping to hear from anyone who served on the ship at that time. Thank you .
Hello,
While diving off Point Loma, CA I found a mug. Looking for the owner. The mug says ANDY across the top, then insignia of rank. ITSN. The bottom of the mug says USS Taussig DD 746
Served aboard from June of 1967 until March of 1970. Two WESTPAC cruises. Radarman, discharged as RD2. I would like to document the several times we were in the delta region doing NGFS. I have searched through GOOGLE but do not have any information. The VA has the 1966 cruise listing the Taussig as being in the delta but at no other time. I know we were there two or three times. the cruise book shows the river patrol boat we operated with which doesn’t prove we were in the delta. Any help would be appreciated.
Served 1959-1960, seaman, this was my last duty and I sure it would my 1st and only. What a great ship and outstanding shipmates.
