First Ship

Comments: This is the first ship I was on as a Marine Grunt. We sailed from Hawaii on 2 April 1967 with , I believe, USS Cavalier and USS Bexar. Our destination was Camp Pendleton for Operation Alligator Hide. I remember that one of our Marines, in rough weather slipped on the wet wood slat deck and went over board, we turned around and picked him up, lucky man. What has happened to APA 27 George Clymer? Anyone remember this operation? Semper Fi......Bill

Want to know more

Comments: I spent some time on the clymer in the early 60's but; when I was in the engine room I believe that it was powered by recip steam 2 or 4 cylinders. I remember it was hot and It had a tall water cooler in the engine room. All information I can find is it was powered by turbine steam. I also remember that in the stern the emergency rudder power unit was a 4 cylinder volkswagon engine, which replaced a flatheat engine. I seem to remember that the crank to change the rudder was huge and it took two men to operate. I also thought that I was told that it was prior to WWII the US America. we carried 1000 marines out of San Diego, CA I stay above decks in a rather plush cabin, with rather impressive light fixtures. In the ships store I purchased several place patches that have the name of USS George Clymer on it and I still have one. I am some what confused when I look at information described by others. I also enjoyed going into the shaft galley and watching the shaft turn, and it was explain to me that the extra shaft could be replaced with going ing port in case of emergencies. Also we took turnes firing on dropped targets of the fan tail, with small arms, and 50 cal machineguns. I lso remember I went and met the personel who ground the garbage and was astounded to know such a position and section existed. My mind must be loosing a few ingrams, I would like to know more about the ship and it's history. Sorry I am not Navy but I am 20 yrs + Army. I was assigned to the intell, consec section for several different cruises. I also spent so time with this ship in the 56? when I was a exployer scout, I went on a three day cruise and participated in a landing exercise near conorado. Any information would be received with thanks John W. Horne CSM (E-9) retired

Where is our ship today?

Comments: I was on the George Clymer from 1960-1962, just between Korea and Vietnam. Lucky I guess. Have fond memories of spending my later teen-age years on George and going on the the Wespac cruises. Was part of the Radio Gang. Does anyone know what happened to the ship? Have been web surfing to find out, but to not avail. My fear is that they used her for target practice, but I hope not. It would be great to go aboard her again. If anyone knows, please respond! Thanks, Burt
