Years Served: 1948-1950…I’ve signed for my dad Carl F. Griffin who served aboard USS Henley just after WWII. He was an EM2 & after leaving the Navy worked for Indianapolis Power & light for 35 years. My dad & my mom are retired & doing well living in southern Indiana. If anyone would like my dad’s address or phone number (he would be tickled to hear from you) just email me. He still talks about being aboard the Henley & being based at Subic Bay Phillipines. For my dad, Patrick Griffin
My father served on the Henry DD 762 he’s passed away now I sure would like to have a lot more information and pictures of the ship
was on the Henley from 8/25/1950 to 8/15/1952 FT3 WENT TO GITMO TO SOUTH CA. THEN A NUMBER OF OTHER PLACES . GOT DISCHARGED IN 8/1952 FROM THE HENLEY
Years served aboard 1969-1973, MM2, FWD & AFT Engine rooms, I was on the decommissioning crew (a heart wrenching experience), then was assigned to the USS America (CVA66) until my discharge in 1974. Hired into the Postal Service as a Clerk in 1975 & retired in 2013. Steven Jowers, I remember you. Good Times & Good Memories. Thank You USS Henley (DD-762)
I went aboard the Henley in Boston in 1963. Departed Tampa with temp 98 and landed in Boston with snow on the ground. Served over a year as a ST and then departed for sub school in Groton, Conn.. I was assigned to the Picuda out of Key West. After 6 months, I was asked to ship over for nuclear power and was transferred to the USS Furse out of Norfolk. Served with honor until October of 1966.
