Years Served: 1951-52âĶI reported aboard Lloyd Thomas in 1951 whle she was in drydock at Boston Naval Shipyard. Was I impressed! My first and last sea duty, having served as an AEM during WWII
Served 1969 to 1971,Deckhand then Storekeeper.
Served on the LT as an EM from 69-72 great experience.
Served on the LT from 2/64-2/66 was yeoman in the office. Saw 2 med tours, 3 months in Gitmo, and visited laharve france after riding out a hurricane at sea.
the Thomas was my first ship Aug 68-Dec-68â(Newport)â although I was transferred to DE 1049 in Jan 69… She was my start as a gunner (striker) … my leading petty-officer was GMG3 Roy Pugh…. he taught me much! I later made GMG2 in 1971 … could not have made it without Roy getting me started. Can any one let me know the 3 who died in mount 51 off the Vietnam firing line in 69? 51 was my gun. I would love to hear from Roy… georgeshelton@gmain.com
Server 59-60 was radioman. Don’t see any morse code anymore everything HI Tech
Served 59-62
John Brown, the chief your dad remembers is probably Chester Poliskey STCM. SEE TINCAN SAILOR SITE . Email shows stcmusnret@version.net .
He was a good man and spent 4 years on LT. I helped him on sonar electronic problems once in a while.
Served from 69 to 71 I remember the gun mount explosion well mm3 after engine room.
My Dad, HMC James D. Brown, USN (ret) was the “Doc” in DD 764 ‘61-’63. He is wondering about his buddy STC Pildusky (sp?). If anyone has any information on him, please let me know. Didn’t serve on a GEARING class, but did serve on two CHARLES F. ADAMS DDG’s and one SPRUANCE class DD. Thanks!
