I was stationed on the USS Lockwood 1064 from 1982 to about 1984, I did a split tour, when it was available and I when to the USS Pyro AE 24. I left the Lockwood as a third class bosnmate, and I came on board as an ordinary seaman. The Lockwood for me was my first ship, I really like how she looks, I got to play on my shares of unrep, helo ops, gun shoot, missile shoot of the sea sparrows, and Asroc. I was fortunate to sit on the mark 54 gun mount elevated the turret and train it, I also had the privilege of sitting down on the sonar console and I was listening while the sonar was on passive mode. I also got to sit on the console of the slick 32, and was tracking airplanes and helicopters from the sea Sparrow manually fire control radar on top of the deck D deck, also at that time they were doing advanced firefighting damage control and I managed to get my red cap being new to that ship and having the privilege of seeing and doing what I did show me a lot of old crew members jealous but I enjoyed it every bit of it they’re small to this but I’ll even like this. It was one of the best shit I’ve been on and I sure did hate it with me broke it up and she was decommissioned they have photos out there of her being scrapped sad very sad. Thank you crew members
