Years Served: 1984-1988…Some of the best menories are the missile shoots and the soft ball games. Had to go when it quit being fun.
Years Served: 1964-to-1968…I was a gunners mate (ASROC) aboard the Wilson from 1964 till 1968. Arrived as 3rd class left as 1st class. Aboard for four tours to Vietnam. During the third tour, at 2;05 pm on June 3rd 1968 we were hit by North Vietnamese shore batteries four miles north of Dong Hoi taking one direct hit and several near misses. Would like to hear from my buddies, Andreason, Graham, and Fierro.
Years Served: Aug 1975 thru 1976…I made 1 west pac and then cross deck to the USS Brooke to go on another west pac. The magnificent 7 will always have a warm spot in my heart. Great crew.
Years Served: September 1969 through May 1970…DDG-7 was on the gun line in Vietnam when I was aboard. I was 2nd Class IC electrician and in charge of the IC crew. She escorted the USS Ranger along with the USS Turner Joy to the Tonkin Gulf and then departed for gun line duty. Great crew, great officers under command of Flank Hank Mustin who later became a Rear Admiral.
Years Served: 1970 to 1972…I reported aboard in the Naval Shipyard Long Beach while she was undergoing overhaul I made E-7 on this ship. 1 westpac cruise and qualified as JOOD.
