Years Served: 1954-1956?…My father, Ed Nalley, transferred to the Lofberg upon the decommissioning of the Oriskany for the angled deck upgrade. He served the rest of his tour on the Lofberg and considers it His Ship. He was a radar tech. I have some 8mm film he shot while aboard. It shows waves over the forward turrets, amazing. He attended the Charleston, SC reunion in 2002. Thank you fellows for your service. Glen Nalley southlandson1@yahoo.com
