| I was a young 18 years old in the early part of 1848, don't remember exactly what month which is the reason for this post. Two seaman and I boarded the Dyess at New London, CT for several weeks a sea. Heading into an Atlantic storm and ended up in New York harbor lying up next to an Aircraft Carrier (name unknown). The experience swayed me to take a Navy discharge and join the U.S. Army Air Force, later to be the U.S. Air Force. My hat is off to any man who takes to the sea. There is a place for everyone to serve our country. If anyone remembers the cruise, be nice to know. I'm looking for my pictures. All I remember the most, was the potato peeler. Fascinated me. |

| Was a Storekeeper on the Dyess when she was in the Brooklyn Navy Yards in 1978-1979 before being decommissioned and sold to the Greek Navy. Many memories playing HEARTS on the mess-decks with Tim, (don't recall last name) from Up-State NY. (If you see this note Tim - get in touch) and a bunch of others. When I went back to Mich on liberty, I always brought back some Stroh's beer for my friends! Great times and great memories. |
