Sure miss the BS and coffee like only a Mess can serve.I love reading all the messages in the log. Didn't realize I'd miss the CPO community as much as I do. I've got a question ship mate. My wife's new boss was in the Navy during World War II and is looking for any info on his old ship. It was a Minesweep, hull number YMS 427. He says it didn't have a name, just the hull number. He's a great fella, and if you could help him in his search I'd really appreciate it. Smooth sailing and keep up the outstanding work! V/R PC |

Name: MMC(SW)Bret Beasley From: San Diego, CA Comments: 1100 hrs. Hay shipmate's, I just found out about this web site from my father (Ret LCDR(LDO for former CPO) W. Roy Beasley). For this I thank him, not only for telling me about this web site, but for the many years he has served his country.I have served onboard the USS Lehey (CG-16), the USS Dixon (AS-37), the USS Joseph Strauss (DDG-16), and the USS Sacramento (AOE-1). Including tours at FTC San Diego, Trident Refit Facility, Bangor WA and Afloat Training Center Pacific (Current Assignment) all from 1980 to Present. I have found in the past several years just how small our nave is getting, as a member of ATG there are not many steam ships that I have not been on. Every brow that I cross, I ask myself...who will I see onboard this ship? It is amazing...There is not one ship that I don't know somebody...form deck to engineering, officer and enlisted.I would like to hear form any of my old shipmates, as well as, any other shipmate that would like to talk sea stories.No futher entries this date.signed, MMC(SW) B.
