Years Served: 1965-67…Radarman Third Class, OI Division
Years Served: June, 1952-June, 1955…I served about 3 months in the Deck-Force then transferred to Engineering Department where I was attached to R division A gang
Years Served: June, 1952-June, 1955…I served about 3 months in the Deck-Force then transferred to Engineering Department where I was attached to R division A gang
Years Served: 1951 to 1955…Came aboard the Lofberg in November 1951 straight out of SONAR School as a Sonarman Seaman, made 3 tours to Korea and all Ports, 2 while the War was on 1 in 1954 called Korean Defense. Had 3 Skippers, with 2 I remember, Captain Phillips and Captain Dobie, both to me the Perfect Captain of a Ship. I have attended 2 Ships reunions one in South Carolina, the other in Seattle, met those that I served with and enjoyed those meetings. I have made Movies first in VHS now converting to DVD or photos taken from 1950 to 1953 and will be available to Shipmates and Relatives of Shipmates that served during that period. You may email me at mccain@clearwire.net or phone 541 660 6104, or mail me at 4315 Lower River Rd. Grants Pass, OR 97526, there is no charge but just to those during that time period. Many of the photos submitted were made by those that have passed on, their names are still listed on the credits.
Years Served: 1967 to 1970…I served in the forward boiler room from 67 to 70. The TET Offensive started on my 21st birthday. That’s one reason I don’t forget it. Looking for anyone who remembers when we went up a river to provide support and would back out and anchor in the harbor at night. The deck apes would drop concussion hand grenades over the side at night to keep charlie from swimming out and attach explosives. Sounded like someone was bearing on the side with a sledge hammer. Hard to sleep.
