I met the USS Turner Joy in Subic Bay and made 2 trips back and forth from the gunline.
My last trip was actually on a Destroyer Tender USS Piedmont.
During my 3 years 11 months and 29 days I was assigned 2 Destroyers and 2 tenders. I did decommissioning work on the New Jersey also.
Great experience saw lots of places and things I would just as well not have seen.
