Subject: USS Meyerkord (FF-1058) Hi Mark, I was stationed aboard the USS MEYERKORD (FF-1058) from 1988 to 1991 and would like to contact anyone who was aboard during that time. Thanks,
David Megnin
Subject: Meyerkord Mark, I am glad to see the DOL. I thought you might be interested in this fact. I served aboard the USS Meyerkord from 1972 to 1975. We were stationed off the coast of Vietnam during those years. I was a GMG2 assigned to the 5"54 gun. I made 2 WESPAC tours. It was a lot of work at the time but I am very glad that I had the chance to serve. At times today I think back about the good times that we had. If you would like, I can send you more information. As you can see in the photo, it was taken before she was renamed as a frigate.

Subject: USS Meyerkord FF-1058 Mark, I was stationed with LT. Meyerkord in Vietnam assigned to River Assault Group 23 in Vinh Long. We were on a mission on 16 March 1965 when he was killed and I was seriously wounded. I have pictures and many memories which I would like to share. Sincerely,
Gene Barney

Subject: USS Meyerkord Mark, The attached photo was taken at Treasure Island "O" Club on 14 December 1991 immediately following the decommissioning ceremony shows Adm. Baldwin (first CO of Meyerkord DE-1058) shaking hands with Harold Meyerkord (Lt. Meyerkord's father). Sincerely, Gene Barney
Subject: USS MEYERKORD DE 1058 Hi Mark, I served on the Meyerkord commissioning crew from the summer of 1969 to September, 1972. With 30 years coming up I am wondering if any of the old shipmates are interested in a ship reunion. I was an ET in the radio shack and worked in CIC. Thank You for your page. Patrick Naughton
Subject: USS Meyerkord I will start going throught all my material for the ship. It has been a long time since I was there. I put her in commission and served aboard her for three years. I was part of the pre-commissioning crew. If you can think of anything in patricular that you need please let me know. QM1 Rice
Subject: USS MEYERKORD FF-1058 My name is Chuck Foyt. I was an EM2 and I served aboard the Meyerkord from 2/76 through 11/79. We made a WestPac for most of 1976 homeported during that time in Yokouska, Japan. Meyerkord paid a port of call to Portland Oregon in 1977 for the Rose Festival. we took the mighty Meyer through overhaul in Portland, Oregon during most of 1978. I probably have numerous photos of the Meyerkord in my Navy archives, some during her dry dock period mentioned above. would certainly like to hear from some old shipmates.
Subject: DE1058 Any chance of the USS Meyerkord DE1058 (FF1058) getting a page? I will dig through my old photos and see if I can find my photos. I did come across a photo of her alongside the USS Lang DE1060 on her page. Thanks, Charles Lovelady
Subject: USS Meyerkord Hello Mark, My name is John Wells and I served aboard the U.S.S. Meyerkord DE-1058. I am curious as to it's fate? Also in getting contact with fellow shipmates. I was on board from 1969 to 1972. If you could help out I would appreciate it. Thanks. J.W.
Subject: Frigates Dear Mr. Roberts, (no pun intended) I just finished watching Evening Magazine and saw the program about the Whipple... I was stationed onboard USS Meyerkord (FF-1058) from 8/88 to 1/90 in San Diego and USS Connole (FF-1056) from 12/90 to 2/92 in Newport, RI. I was an EW2(SW) frocked when I was discharged. I also served TAD onboard USS Gray (FF-1055), USS Ramsey (FFG-2?), USS Scofield (FFG-3?). I served very limited time onboard, they were being decommissioned and sold to the Pakistani's. Some of the other FF's I remember in San Diego, San Francisco and Long Beach were:
Marvin Shields A very good friend of mine served onboard USS Hoel (DDG-13) in San Diego, he could be some help if needed. We served together on board Connole in RI... Write me if you need help with anything. Josh Berelson
Subject: DOL I was looking through the net and found your web page. I don't know where all my stuff is right now, probably storage, but I was on USS Meyerkord FF-1058 from 79-81, made a westpac in '80, was involved in a collision and some flooding. Then I transferred to USS Ramsey FFG-2 for a year until 82. Then I wasn't on a ship again until 90-91, on USS LaSalle, AGF-3 during the war. I have some stuff and would like to see some of my ships on the web. If you could give me an idea of what you need or don't want. I can look for pictures (later) I have a cruise book. I just wish we had made like, between cruise books, because I don't have anything from the other ships, even though we spent time on them and made lots of friends. Oh, I am still in the Navy Reserves, and work at the Pacific Missile Range Facility, PMRF, in Kauai, Hawaii and deal with the new ships that come out here for training and work ups. We do all the Aegis training. Let me know if you could use any of that stuff, for the newer ones. RIMPAC is starting in July and we are going to sink two ships, the ex-USS Badger (FF-1071) and the ex-USS Sommers, but I am not sure which one. I might be able to get you something on those. If you have wild ideas, let me know and I might be able to track something down for you from this end. Keep up the good work,
Clay Crawford
