Comments:

Thanks for creating this site! Man it's sad to see the USS Spear being sunk, she was my first and favorite ship, while on board USS Cole we did a sinkex on a tender, can't remember which one, sorry but it was sad for me, being an ex-tender sailor.

I'd like to send an invite to everyone to check out http://www.togetherweserved.com if you haven't already, it's an awesome site to get back in touch with your shipmates, it's only for active or former military.

I was one of the first enlisted personnel assigned to the Proteus before it was commissioned in early 1944.
My rate at that time was SKD2 (Storekeeper - Disbursing).

Tender:

USS Gilmore AS 16

Comments:

On Board the Gilmore in Key West 1972 a month before going to Mobile Al. and Pascagoula for refit to be deployed to LaMaddalena Italy. We left Pascagoula and went back to Key West for a week then shake down in Cuba. A day liberty in Haiti (we lost our anchor "litterally fell to the bottom of the bay in Haiti). Then went to Charleston for a few last upgrades. Arriving at LaMadd, there was a pier and that is all. The CBs built a beer hall and a basket ball court. The funniest memory was the crazy Italian drivers got on the bumper cars with their girlfriends and did not want to be hit or run into. they just wanted to cruise around. They got real mad when they were bumped. I left the Gilmore in June of 75. We had a picnic on July 4th of 74 which I really was looking forward to but ended up on a tug boat with gyro parts to meet a sub out in the straights. Was let off a few days later in Naples. It was a great time of Spiritual growth for me as I spent most of my time looking for Christians and fellowshipping with them. Anyone remember me. Please email. Ron
