Comments: Down at the very bottom of this list there is a section entitled "New Section" dated 29 Aug 1998 posted by blxJac@aol.com. It has some good information. In it he says "the Navy is not wild about addmitting that anyone other than they, know how to operate ships." I can believe that.
I never served in what I called the "real" Navy other than boot camp. I always had cushy, laid-back, non-militaristic duty but I did serve a year in the Military Department on the USNS BARRETT (T-AP 196). I had occasion to observe our ship's seamanship as well as some seamanship on the part of the "real" Navy on USS ships.
The "real" Navy was very impressive but then our status in those days was only slightly above that of the galley slaves in Ben Hur. You got good at what you were doing "or else" and you didn't really want to know what the "or else" was. I suppose the merchant marine officers were intelligent, capable and well trained (I really don't know for sure) but I had occasion to observe the seamanship of our merchant marine crew under some difficult situations and it seemed rather inept.

I just stumbled across this thread in the website. I boarded the troop ship CG Morton in Seattle on December 31, 1955 and arrived in Inchon about January 20, 1956. John Taggart was aboard and we later ended up in the same unit, Heavy Mortar Company, 21st Infantry Regt., 24th ID in Korea. Been looking for John a long time and have posted in a variety of sites. Also like to hear from anyone else in the same company serving with me.

I remember it like it was yesterday. But what im curious about is,not sure where in NYC we boarded her. I was thinking it was Brooklyn but not sure. This would be in 1964. The ship went to France. Also what im looking for is her retirement? I found a web site tonite with her picture, that really touched my heart. She was truley a beauty, and her staff was very accomidating. If anyone was on that ship that time period, would also love to hear from you. My father was 21 year veteran of the US Army. His pride and joy, and a big part of my life. His retirement was in 1969 out of Fort Niargra NY

Comments: As a Marine corporal, I was part of the draft that left Camp Pendleton in Nov 64 on board the Gaffey. Interested in input from anyone who sailed on the Gaffey (Marine or Army) on this date. Departed San Diego on 5 Nov 64. Visited San Diego in 1996 and the pier that we departed from (warehouse next to the pier) looked the same as it did in '64. The Gaffey lasted until June 2000 when she was used as target practice in a Harpoon firing test in the Pacific. Not bad for an "old lady." We had fun on the ship...my guess was about 500-750 Marines and several hundred Army troops headed for Korea. We Marines boarded last and had to wait several hours in the sun, moving our seabags between the edge of the pier and the warehouse, next to the pier. "Someone" got the bright idea to begin singing the Mickey Mouse theme song. The entire draft of Marines could be heard LOUD and CLEAR throughout the downtown area. Whoever was in charge decided to move us aboard quickly...
