Comments: I see a lot written about my ship, but I just wanted to be sure we were all addressing the correct spelling of such a fine ship that I served on in 1963 and regretfully we had a collision with another great ship called the USS Gregory. The spelling of the ship is USS McDermut unless I have lost my mind and maybe I have. Correct me please if anyone has it right for sure cause I thought I did.

Sincerely,

Terry
