Comment | The Ricketts was my last of three ships and my first destroyer. I had spent five years on two cruisers. Most of my time aboard was spent in dry dock, and followed by a shakedown cruise. I was medevaced to Roosevelt Roads, sent on to the hospital in Chelsea, MA. I was discharged from there. I remember having a locker in Fox Div. that had been used by a Greek sailor during the MMC. I know this because he wrote a record of all his paydays in drachmas on the inside of the locker door. |
