Served aboard the U.S.S. Savage (DER-386) 1965 - 69, SM3. Loved the Navy & would have been forced to retire if I wasn't married at the time I got out.Great web page - will be telling my Association about it to see what we can do to preserve the memory of our beloved ship that some unsenistive Naval brass decided to use it for target practice. Lots of memories and friends were had

Tom I have a cruse book from the 66 to 68 pierod talking about recommision of the ship to some of the boats that we had in Viet Nam Also that A fram you see on th o1 level is the movie theater that we had in Nam up river we would show movies in there at night our soda machine was there and a pop corn Popper we set a booth up for the movies camers and had a little theather up there. Did you know that we had canavs awnings al the way around the ship with wooden pallet on the deck to keep you out of water when it rained and the ship was painted green. Brings back a lot of membors so good so not so good like tet 68. I worked in AC Flats and stood watch in acFlats Boiler room at one time was a boat en and GQ watch was after steering eating Ice CreamThanks David
