I was the only one there who served on the 'bird during 1955 to '57. Now I know a lot of you out there who served on the 'bird when she was a minesweeper can't all be dead. Come on, get off your ass and show up at the next reunion. This was the second one for me and I'm tired of being the only one from the minesweep era. A lot of history associated with the Surfbird we can all be proud of, especially as a minesweeper. Looking forward to hearing from ya'll. Keywords:

GEORGE PIERCE wrote on February 26, 2001 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Hunt and I both joined the Surfbird when she was being taken out of mothballs in Feb of 1952. I can't remember his first name. The two of us made up the entire gun gang for the first six months we were aboard. I would like to know what became of Hunt. Does anyone out there have copies of the ship's logs from 1 Feb '52 thru Dec of that year? Surely would like to peruse them. I remember that he told me that he had served aboard the USS Salt Lake City during WWII. He had also served aboard submarines. Had once been a Torpedoman's mate. Hope someone can help with this. Keywords: Hunt, Gunner's mate 1st class.
