Uss Harveson DER 316

Comments:

I was stationed on the Harveson DER 316 from Nov 1955 until we transferred her to the mothball fleet in Sacromento, Ca on 30 June 1960. She did a lot of squeaking and groaning, but she a good ship

I was assigned to the OI Division and worked in CIC as did many others in that crew. Radar picket was a very boring and monotonous running atound in circles for 24 0r 25 days. We all looked forward to the departure from the assigned watch station, and bringing the engines on line to make a dash to our home port.. .MEMORIES>>
