Chuck Stalnaker trainer me before he left the ship. I had a great time and loved the ports, shipyards periods and the whole crew. Still in touch with Ashburn. Any one heard from Buffy Coffelt?

Where is the reference to BRN-3?

very interesting year on board

Great stuff! The photos reminded me of several "adventures" in Yokosuka and Sasebo as well as Guam, the Philippines and Taiwan. I know I have photos from those days in the attic. Now I just have to climb up there and find them!

I served aboard as Rm2 From 1977-79. If any of my shipmates are out there I would like to hear from you.

Any one remember QM1 William J. Clemente, commisioned to Ensign while aboard 8 December 1959? He was my Commanding Officer in Beach Jumper Unit ONE. Working on a Memorial page for him and if you knew him please contact me. Very Respectfully.

This is Bill's daughter...I never knew any details of his time in the Navy this website has been helpful and it has been so neat to see pictures!

My dad died suddenly a year ago from a brain anuerysm, I only got bits and pieces of his navy life...If you served with him and have some stories to share I would love to hear!

Great site! This brings back a lot of great memories. InPorts were always fun. Las Palmas Grand Canary Island, Rota Spain (just after Franco died), Bermuda, Halifax, Port Canaveral Fla, Boston (2 months dry dock in Dec and Jan - one dollar fish chowder and bread at the 'No Name' Restaurant in S. Boston shipyards), and (of course) Norfolk Va. I also have some photos that I can post.

Temporary E-mail this is work. Comms will be up at home in a month or two. Please say hello and I will get some photo's out stat when I get access. Nice to have this site. Harvey, Neil, Tom, etc., keep in touch...

I just found this web site. I have pictures to add to the site
