That is cool. I'll bet the sub vets are pleased and have a good time
with it. Wish they had one for my old can.

My dad is a plank owner of the DLG-10/DDG-41 King. He was the ASW
Officer.

My dad is a plank owner of the DLG-10/DDG-41 King. He was the ASW
Officer.

They were contemporaries, built and scrapped about the same time.
Different oceans.
Some plank owners were still aboard the John King when I came aboard
in June of '64, and I think the chief commissaryman was still there
when I left in Dec of '67.
I was thinking the other day about how most of my crew was from the
east, and how the Navy does ship assignments from boot camp.
Remember a guy from Texas and one from Utah.
Everybody else was from east of the Rockies.
OTOH my Chicago buddy who joined up with me went right to Okinawa, but
he was an airedale.
I think in general those who had boot at Great Lakes go east, and San
Diego(?) go west.
Of course it might be a different story for the officers.
But it makes sense to send them to the home ports close to home if you
can.
ASROC's are loud when they take off.
That's what I remember about ASW.
Well, not all, since the maneuvering had a big effect on us in the
fire room, since we were the source of everything else.
That's how I always figured it when a deck ape showed some snot.
"You don't go nowhere without my steam."
Got any good stories from your dad?
