Comments: Served aboard the Winston from Oct 15 1965 until Dec
31 1968 then cross-decked to Seminole (AKA-104) while
offshore DaNang. First in 1st Div for about 5 months
(mess-decked for 90 days) then became an undesignated
striker for Radarman before we left for Vietnam.
Dugan Sewell(2nd Div) and I were selected to become
strikers in the Radar Shack(CIC-Combat Information
Center). I turned 18 yrs old in July'66 drinking
Carling Black Label beer in a sand hooch in Chu Lai,
Vietnam. Our Captain was "Wild Bill" Bennett and he
volunteered us for everything. That was the year we
were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation...

Comments: My father, then ET3 James R. Kilborn from Wollaston, Mass. served aboard WINSTON fm '46-'48. He later left the Navy and got his college degree. The he re-entered the Navy under a USNR program of the Eisenhower Administrations which commissioned him an Ensign. he went on to duty in USS KIDD, USS WHITEHALL and a few other places I do not recall. He is alive and well and now calls central PA home. He doesn't monkey with computers but I would love to meet anyone who sailed with my dad. He finally retrired in 1973 as a LCDR and I now carry on the family tradition as a Cryptologic Chief Petty Officer on the staff of the Commander Second Fleet. I would also really like to know what became of WINSTON? Scrapped or sold? Thanks, Scott D. Kilborn
