Comments: I served briefly for 6-8 months in 1969.I went on the shakedown cruise to Cuba then returned for decommissioning. I was an IC3. I am looking for names and photos of those in my unit and how to contact them. Never let the Chief know I was a Gyro Tech, got an "Early Out" 90+Days to begin college in Sept 1969 instead of Dec 1969. I was due to check out on monday but did everything to muster out on Friday and left on Friday, Chief returned that Monday, ship returned to mothballs, he was only one qualified to decom the Gyros. Had he know I had the school, I would have lost my early-out, and been stuck with Gyros Decom. I sent the guys a "Care Package" of Seagrams Benchmark Bourbon when I got home to NY

Forgot most of actual names "Tex"? "Sweet"?

Funny Story

Comments: My neighbor told me this story: Her brother Marvin Trebacz served on the Taconic during the Korean War. In all the time he was gone their mother had never received a letter from him and was worried. So, she decided to call the Red Cross. They gave her a number at the Navy to call. The gentleman answering the phone asked what ship he was serving on, to which she replied the Titanic. When that was cleared up they were able to confirm that her son was indeed aboard the Taconic, and a letter was sent to the Captain of that ship, from the Department of the Navy, explaining the problem. Apparently the Captain called Marvin up to the bridge and ordered the young sailor to present him, each month, with a letter written to his mother. Marvin died a few years ago, and his sister would love to hear from any of you who knew him. Thanks!

Served in Taconic 1956-57

Comments: I served in Taconic from November, 1956, to April, 1957, and had the unusual experience of having no assignment on the ship. ComPhibLant had an oversupply of journalists at the time and I was stowed away in Taconic and was berthed with the snipes. Finally, the ship's carpenter, a warrant officer whose name I forget, asked me to type up all the spec charts which are displayed in every compartment. He put me in the wardroom with a typewriter and treated me royally and was happy if I worked 3-4 hours a day. I had the run of the ship and would often help grizzled first class bosn's mates get liberty cards after hours etc. I had married in February '57 and wanted off. I was detached to ComPhibTraLant and then eventually to Navy air in Pensacola, where I settled.
