Keywords: I was aboard the Black during two tours in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Tonkin. We were escorting the Kitty Hawk and providing offshore bombardment along with the rest of the Destroyer Squadron. On our last tour (1964) we ran into the Asthabula (sp) and had to go into Subic Bay for repairs. I just want to say hello to any and all that served aboard this fine Destroyer.

I'm sorry, I don't even know what his rank was or what he did. He died in 1984 from cancer with his family nearby.

The ship was going overseas again in June 1956 and alto I had 2 weeks before end of enlistment, I had to go with the ship from Long Beach before letting me off the ship. My operations officer was Lt. Jackson and I think my QMC was Donald Sanderson.I would like to contact these 2 men if anyone knows their whereabouts. I enlisted in the Reserves in Long Beach in Jan. 1958 and remained in the Reserves for 25 yrs & retired as a QMCS in 1983.
