Taiwan, Subic Bay Philapines. A low point, with a good ending, was when Master Chief "Cash" Register, informed me in his Mr Hyde mode (As in Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde), to report to the bridge for captain's mast,only to find out that it was an honorly mast for a number of the electronics gang and a handshake from Capt.

BRYCE CANYON AD-36

Comments: I served aboard the USS Bryce Canyon AD-36 1960 - 1962. The BC made her last WestPac cruise that I am aware of 1960/61. In [early] 1962, sent to Pearl Harbor (Ford Island). Stationed at her berth in front of the Admin Building for the entire six months! The Little Lady's (Tin Cans) still came by for their occassional remodeling!! by the Heavey and Light Machine Shops, Enginnering, etc. And she still had rated as the number two ship in all the Pacific Fleet for food--is was what the Destroyer Boys called "Shipping over chow."

The crew also observed a large portion of the building of the Memorial over the USS Arizona.

The Bryce Canyon, was the VERY 1st US Navy, 'Ship of the Fleet' to receive the Gold "E" due to excellent regular Fleet Inspections in all five of the following: (1) Gunnery, (2) Engineering, (3) Deck, (4) Communication, and (5) Supply -- FIVE YEARS IN-A-ROW!!! I believe her Gold E was given in 1959 or 1960, shortly before I transferred aboard.

She was a Great Lady...

Service on Bryce Canyon

Comments: I served aboard the Bryce Canyon from about June, 1951 until about November, 1951. I was a RM in C Div. The ship was relieved for rotation to CONUS in about November by the USS Hamul AD20. I transferred to the Admiral's staff on the Hamul to remain in the Far East. I believe he was ComDesFlot1. I was not aware that Bryce Canyon has been awarded a battle star.
