Comments: I am looking for information on my grandfather and his career in the US Navy. I have conducted this search before and did receive some feed back from people that knew him. I have received information that has helped me widen my search. My grandfather died in 1960 leaving behind a widow with 5 children. I know that he served in the Navy from 1950 to 1954. I also know that he was on the USS Orleck. I received newspaper clippings about the Red Arms Train being destroyed by the Orleck and I wanted to know if anyone could tell me more about it or where I could go to find out more. I am also putting my grandfather's name here again. Maybe someone recognizes it and knew him and could tell me more about him. I never knew him so this is my way of finding more. His name was Gregory Julius Castro. His discharge papers state his most significant duty assignment was USNAS Pearl Harbor, T.H. I'm not sure if any of this information helps, but I am listing it anyway on the chance someone recognizes it. Thank you all so much. Sincerely, Tonya Killian (granddaughter of Greg Castro Sr.)

Comments: My grandfather was Gregory J Castro. He was on the Orleck during Korea. I never knew him because he died when my mom was about 5. I think he died back in 62. I just want to know if anyone knew him and if so, maybe you could let me know.. Thank you Tonya

After leaving the U.S.Navy in 1958, I worked as a civilian in various positions untill moving to California in 1960, having a Son, Named Jerry Paulino, and employed as a Golf Course superintendent. I have been employed in this position since then and even owned a bar in So.Ca. for a while. I have retired this year at age 65 but plan to continue to work another 10 years before ACTUAL retirement.Naval service must be in my blood, for my son has served as Seaman on board the U.S.S.Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7),U.S.S. SARATOGA (CV-60), U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CVA-67), Attack Squadron 75 (VA-75) "SUNDAY PUNCHERS" and as a civilian he has served on many merchant vessels including the Moror Vessel GREENPEACE (Ocean going Tug). I am very proud of my military service and my country. I hope other young men will serve their country with pride and remember how great this country really is.

I served on the Orleck DD886 from 1951-53. Transfered to Adak Alaska
1953 With Mob#9, Sand Bay Alaska 1953, U.S.S. Sperry AS-12 1954-59,
Company Commander 1959-62, U.S.S. Isle Royale AD29,
U.S.S. Piedmont AD15, Shipfitters "A" School 1970-72
I was assigned to the shipfitters shop, Can't seem to recall the 2nd
class in charge, but will someday. Three of the men that were in the
shop Green ME3, Blaylock DC3, Davis ME3. I was the only Pipefitter on
board, FPFA when I went aboard and FP3 when I left.
The Ships duties were to search out and destroy trains and cripple the
supply of arms and equipment. We hit and destroyed one train and caused
much work to the enemy.
I can remember them firing the five inch guns all night, they would
rebuild the next day, that night we would fire again. This kept up for
thirty days at a time.
We ran with the Perkins, Parks & John R. Craig. We were hit one time
with a small shell, did a small amount of damage, a hole about 10 inches
in the 40MM shield.
