Served on the Putnam as an Ensign and Lieutenant JG from 1964 to 1966. Ship’s motto “We’ve been there” was certainly true. Three deployments to the Mediterranean and many to Caribbean while aboard. Seemed like we were always at sea.

1966-1970 Left Putnam as STG2. Came to Putnam in Portsmouth Shipyard. Enjoyed Monte Carlo, Rio, Jamaica, the Mediterranean, Cuba, San Juan, Virgin Islands. Good shipmates.
Served on the Putnam fm 1965 to 1967 as Radioman 3rd class live in coaltownship PA 17866
Reported aboard as FTGSN in 1963 and transferred in 1966 as FTG2 while in the yards in Portsmouth. Retired in 1987 as NCCM. Was leading FT when I transferred. LCDR Joe Buggy was my XO and was responsible in my enlistment.
