Years Served: 1983 to 1986…I guess I am the first one to sign this! I had the best of times on the ’Wood and living in Yokosuka. I met a wife while there even though she is old news….

Kenneth Tucker SM2

Years Served: 84-87…IN REGARDS TO (OS) WORNES REMARKS… HE IS FULL OF SOMETHING. I WAS THE 1JV PHONE TALKER TO THE CAPTAIN FOR SEA AND ANCHOR THAT COLD RAINY, LIMITED VISIBILITY, SEA RETURN ON ALL RADARS SPS- 50 AND 10 NIGHT. LT. DOUGLAS MEISTER HAD THE CON ALL THE WAY UP TO INCREASING SPEED TO 20 KNOTS, SOUNDING THE WHISTLE FOR THE PORT TURN, AND EXECUTING THE TURN INTO A UNLIT VESSEL THAT HAD JUST GOTTEN UNDERWAY DOWN BOUND IN THE SAFETY FAIRWAY. THE CAPTAIN DID NOT HAVE THE CON UNTIL IT WAS EVIDENT THAT A VESSEL WAS APPROACHING OFF THE STARBOARD SIDE. HE TOOK THE CON FROM WEPS AND DID HIS DUTY AS THE CAPTAIN AND SAVED YOUR SORRY ASS FROM WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MIDSHIP HIT TO THE BOILERS AND BLOWN US ALL UP. IF THERE IS A HIGHER POWER, I SUGGEST YOU PRAY TO HIM OR HER TO FORGIVE YOU FOR SUCH A LIE. OR START IT OUT BY SAYING THIS IS NO SHIT SO, WE KNOW IT TO BE CLASSIC NAVAL FICTION.
