This site is dedicated to the men who served aboard this great ship from 20 May 1961 when it was commissioned in the Boston Naval Shipyard until its decommissioning in Mayport FL on 1 April 1991. It is maintained and supported by those men. The photos and memorabilia contained within this site are a collection of items contributed by those men.

If you, a friend or a relative served aboard this ship please sign the guestbook below. If you have such items of interest and would like to share them, please e-mail our webmaster.
