I’m still surprised that we even Survided the Trip! I’m on the bottom right of page 75 and tat’s Bushs foot kicking the dirt for real!
My Father (Richard Montjoy III) served on the Keyes from around 1962 -1964. He passed away in 1977 from cancer but I remember the James E. Keyes emblem on some pictures in his office. He had great stories from his time in the Navy. If anyone remembers my father, I’d love to hear from them. Bless you all for serving.
Just discovered this website,served on board from 1957 thru 1960 in the supply dept. went on board as a seaman and left as a E5 joined the Navy at 16 and served for 4 years and 10 months. Got a letter of recommendation from A.O. Mccarroll in recognition hat the ships supply dept. received the grade of Excellent. Turning 82 and have had hell of a ride. MY navy time was a great time in my life, made good friends plus it prepared me for life. Thanks to all who served and are serving , may God bless them. email me. Have tr;ied to trace some of the people in supply but to no avail. GO NAVY
I served aboard the USS Kyes from 1968 through 1970. I have so many wonderful memories of my time aboard the Jumping Jimmy. I also have some moments that will haunt me forever. I was aboard the ship when the USS Frank E. Evan’s was cut in half. That dawn morning has be with me ever since. I would love to hear from any Weapons Division shipmates. I am also trying to find Mike Stabler who was an IC man. I know several of my shipmates are gone now but I sure would like to hear from any that are still with us.
BTFN made the last westpac on Kyes.Was there to decommission her in 1973. Had my fun in no.1 boiler room
