    My first ship, Sept. 1970 to Mar. 1974.  The crew was the greatest and over all it was the best command of my career.

    Tried your web address some how I think DLGC/CGN35 is no right!

    We had a Tommy T coin recently made. We are about to mail them out to those that ordered. If you go to the USS Truxtun DLGC/CGN-35 face book page, you can see the coin. We might do another order if we can get more interest in the coin.

    I did two tours on Truxtun as the radiation health tech. 80-82 as a HM1 and 85-88 as HMC. I got my Surface Warfare quals in April of 88.She was a beautiful ship, got to see a lot of places that most people only dream about, like the island kingdom of Tonga. It broke my heart when I discovered that she was taken apart. My two tours of duty on her comprised almost 25% of my career.
