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

I was asigned to the Arlington out of boot camp and was sent to Norfolk naval station, to wait for her rebuild from the old Sipan at Mobile, upon waiting my family became in grave danger from a outlaw motor cycle gang that had raped my younger sister, so I was let out on a hard ship discharge. I was able to quile the harasment and get my family out of harms way. I loved the Navy and was lookinjg forward to serving on the USS ARLINGTON, it is still an honor to have bee selected a crew member.

I had the chance to go to the recommissioning in 1966 because I grew up in Arlington , spent my first 26 years there and I lived down the street from the Pentagon. But my father-in-law was the Leo Urbanske, the chairman of the county board so we went to the ship with Miss Arlington and had a wonderful time being special guests from the county. Thanks to all for your service. My dad was a commander(USNA 1922) but was lost on USS Vincennes CA44 in 1942 so the navy is VERY close to my heart. BEAT ARMY
