I was there during the Oriskany time and helped tie up the New Jersay. Ah yes, those were the good old days. They had a hard time pronouncing my name, so they called me "Frenchy".

Comments: I served on the BC from April 1967 to Oct.1970 as a Boatswains Mate & a Gunners Mate in the Weapons Division. My twin brother came aboard from the USS Oriskany deployed in the Gulf of Tonkin. He was an ADJ3 in the DASH section. We have a few old pictures of the BC & the Oriskany moored side by side at Subic Bay P.I. The B.C. did preliminary repairs on the O boat after the 1966 fire. The fire killed 44 officers and enlisted. After the repairs were made the Oriskany returned to San Diego for more repairs.

He joined the Navy in 1950 and faught throughout the war aboard ship where his home port was stationed in San Deigo. Don't know of the ship's numbers or division he may have been a part of, but I'm in the Navy too, and would be interested if I knew more about him during that time.

Ted, The Bryce Canyon (AD 36) was commissioned in 1950 at Charleston

She was sent to Japan either late in 1950 or early in 1951. She carried
the flag of DesDiv 16, if my memory serves. She was awarded a Battle
Star for her service in the Korean War.
I was in the Navigation Division ("N"Div.)
The destroyer Walke (DD723) was a Sumner Class. She was built at Bath
Iron Works in Maine. She was mined in Korean waters and took heavy
casualties among the Quartermasters and Signalmen. I was there when she
was brought along side the Bryce Canyon to be repaired.
That's all I can give you about them, off the top of my head.
Your questions might trigger other memories, however.

I was aboard the Bryce Canyon AD36, when she was commissioned in
Charleston S.C. I am a plank-owner. I served aboard until June 1952.
I was aboard when the USS Ward hit a mine. If I can remmember right,
it was on a sunday morning. Some of the crew had gotten up to go to
chow. Most of those that was killed had slept in.
On checking online, I found out that Bryce Canyon AD36 had won a
battle star for service in Korea. I was never notified of this. Nor
was I ever issued a battle star. I wonder how many others that served
aboad never knew.
