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.
