I was a DKCS William Rickard in the Disbursing Office March 1971 - July 1972. DK2 Jim Havens was in the Disbursing Office at the same time. Happy to connect with you all.

David, do you remember when the DD's that was off our bow in port fired a war short mark 32 torpedo accross the parking lot. That was a bad day for someone. Cheers.
