When I ran across your web page on the "Hammerin' Hank", it brought back many memories. As my first ship of my Navy career, I hold a special placefor her. I was stationed aboard her from 1971-76, got my first taste ofbattle of the coast of Nam, again at Hai Phong Harbour, and continued tillthe end of the war during the rescue of the merchant ship SS Mayaquez.

I met and remember alot of valuable friends, and can honestly say, beingfresh out of boot camp, I grew up a lot during those years.

Thanks for the memories.
