| Comment | Came aboard right out of A School into OI Division just in time for a Med cruise, she was still the USS Biddle at the time. I was aboard for the decommissioning of the Biddle and commissioning of the USS Claude V Ricketts. I have been wondering if that makes me a plank owner??? I was transferred in Sept or Oct of 1964, hard to remember such details so many years later, to the USS Semmes DDG 18 out of Charleston SC |
