Comments: I served as chief radioman on the philip from
1954 - 1957. I was only member of crew from
New York and my buddy Bill Herr a yeoman was
only member from New Jersey. We blockcaded
Inchon for awhile and sailed in the Japanese seas
most of the time.
It was a good ship, an excellent destroyer and
earned the big E on its stack.

Comments: My uncle Sammy Jackson was on the USS DDE-498 Philip around the late 50's . When they came back into Hawaii he and some buddies went swimming at sandy beach near the blow hole and was swept in the current and never found. I was wondering if anyone one remembered him ? Love to hear from you.
