CRAIG, William H.

Years Served: 1960…We were in transit on the USS Gurke DD 783 headed for our duty ship in Yokosuka Japan, the USS Jupiter AVS8. There were seven of us just out of boot camp. We boarded the Gurke in early 1960 in San Diego CA. All of us were seaman apprentices. I will try to remember the names, Thomas L. Ramsay, Raymond H. Miller, Charles Pratt, Nick Petruskin, Fred Cannahan, Mike Martinez, and Massingham. Thanks for the great site.

Thomas Ramsay

Years Served: Sept 1964 to August 1966…I am very proud to have served on such a wonderful ship with a great group of shipmates. Would sure enjoy hearing from some of them.
