Comments: My dad, Clifford Thomas Hill "Cliff" was a CPO in the Navy stationed in Norfolk, VA. He died on Feb. 1, 2004 but he loved the Navy and I would love to hear from anyone that knew him. I also have fond memories of visiting my dad on the ship when it came to Norfolk, and my dad would always send someone to help me come up the gangway stairs. Whoever you were/are, I thank you so much! I miss my daddy but remember how proud I was of him...even as a little girl. God bless you all and Godspeed!

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?

Thank you.

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.
