I'm The Past Commander of American Legion Post 79 , Yarnell Arizona. I worked for and was the representitive for the Nicolia Joffe Corp. which scrapped the USS Arlington. I was onboard the Foss Tug which towed the USS Arlington from Bremerton Washington to Richmond California. This was the USS Arlingtons last voyage. When The Arlington docked in Richmond at the old Kaiser Yard I was able to go through the entire ship as at that time I was in charge of removing usable equipment. The USS Arlington was a Great Ship and I was Proud to be there for her last voyage. Message Number: 93 - Tuesday, December 1, 2009 19:38:23 EST - United States ![]()

Hello,memories of such a beautiful ship.We were involved with the,The Landing of Apollo 11.I can remember,working 72 hour's,making sure that President Nixon's helicopter was fueled with the right mixture.I also remember back then,we had to drop off some sailors at Johnson Island,because they hated our President.Anyway,I am so happy, to have served on "The Uss Arlinghton".Aloha,William W.

The USS Arlington was my first and only ship during my stint in the Navy. I worked in the transmitter room below deck in air conditioned splendor. Became a shellback on a trip down to Sydney, Australia. Two shipmates and myself partied late the night before we were to leave the next day. We over slept in our hotel room, but were able to share a cab to the pier. We missed ships movement, but a nice person with a boat took us out to catch the departing Arlington in the harbor. We ended up getting Captain's mast, but because we had no prior problems, the XO let us go scott free. Lucky us! Got to see lots of the far east, even got chased out of Hong Kong by a typhoon. We caught part of the typhoon, and the ship rocked and rolled quite a bit. The mess hall was empty for a while. Got off at Pearl Harbor after the first Apollo moon shot that went around the moon and splashed down 500 miles southwest of Honolulu. Finished my navy adventure with a 20 month assignment to Fleet Weather Facility, London England. Great memories of a great ship.

I think it's great that the Arlington has a home page. I see a lot of names I recognize on the roster. I'd like to say hello to the crew. Wow--40 years huh? I remember crossing the equator like it was yesterday, and the Apollo 10&11 recoveries, the Tonkin Gulf of course. Anyway, I'd really like to get my name on the roster, what do I need to do? Thanks,,,and hello again from Alaska..Pat Sullivan Message Number: 86 - Wednesday, October 28, 2009 09:20:06 EST - United States ![]()
