Years Served: 1964-1967…I enjoyed my tour and have some fond memories of people and places. I especially remember our ship’s dog Suki

Years Served: 1961 to 1963…I WAS A BMSN, AND WORKED ON THE DECK FORCE. WAS ON THE SOLANT AMITY CRUISE, AND THE MED CRUISE IN 1962. GOT TO SEE QUITE A FEW PLACES I NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE TO THANKS TO THE U.S.N.

Years Served: 1968 ti 1973…I boarded the Sherman in the yards at Boston. I remember learning more about the Navy and myself on her than any where else. My first port was Jamacia and I learned a lot there too. I remember our second trip to the yards and the remodeling of the sonar berthing area. I left the Serman to go to the USS Barry to go to Greese.

Then on to a long shipyard stay in Boston a shake down in Guantanamo Buy and to her new homeport in Charleston, SCI left her a PN3. Got out for one year and returned to active duty and retired after 24 years as a PNC.

Years Served: 1973 -1977…Would like to hear from all deck hands from 74-77

Years Served: Aug. 1967-Dec.1968…My tour of duty on the Forrest Sherman was memorable. The crew and officers on board at that time were for the most part very good people. Probably my most memorable experience was when we were in Dry Dock in Boston. One evening I had the Quarterdeck watch and the CDO went to check the dry dock and never came back. He finally returned about 3 months later. Until then I had never heard of an officer going over the hill.

Years Served: 1980 – 1992…I did not serve on board the Sherman. I served in the after-engineroom on board the USS Mullinnix DD-944. I loved my days as a tin can sailor but was too dumb to appreciate it. I served with some of the greatest people in the Navy and wasn’t those old 1200 pounders awesome (that is, of course, after we converted to DFM from that ever-loving Black Oil)! I am proud of the fact that you guys have found her a home in Maryland. I plan to visit. Hats off to those who could still stick shift an engineering plant in the dark and aim before they took a shot.
