Comments: I was just wondering if anyone remembers my Dad Commander George S. Grey. He served on the USS Yancey until it was decommissioned in San Diego in the late 50' early 60's?

Anyone who remembers him I would be happy to hear from?

Comments: Looking back fondly - it was a great ship and had a fine crew. The Navy was a learning experience that has been helpful to me throughout my life.

Keywords: I was aboard the Yancey from 1951 until 1954 and made 12 trips across the Pacific from the ships home port of Oakland, CA to Japan, Korea, Philipines and Hawaii and other ports in California. I did welding and sheetmetal work. If you broke it - we had to fix it.
