Hey and AHOY !....Just found this site looking for the ships assoc. site. I was assigned to the ARLY right out of Radio A school (San Diego) and was TAD to the transmitter site (Driver,Va.). until the ship came to Portsmouth from Mobile, Ala. when she finally got underway. She didn't stop much. I didn't care much for the "Shake down" cruise. I particularly enjoyed the Antenna pattern cruise to the north Atlantic, though I didn't care much for the "perfect storm" we hit getting there. Portugal,Germany, Norway were great liberty ports Then back home before going through the Panama Canal. Pearl harbor, then Japan (yard) Phillipines, Tiawan, Hong kong, When my time was up, I was high lined onto an oiler to go back to Clark AFB Phllipines for flight home.

Last minute change from CA to Japan. Picked up the Arlington in Pearl Harbor. Lots of back and forth from yankee station to Apollo 10, and 11. Nixon/Thieu conference on Midway. Stayed on board for decommissioning in Jan 70. I hope the Website can get back on line soon.
