"I landed on Wake Island in 1990 headed to Okinawa with NMCB Four. We had to re fuel a A1011 that the battalion had chartered to fly us to Okinawa. Everything that I've read on this page is pretty much accurate. When we landed we were allowed to get…"

Hey Tim, I remember the Med, I.O. West Pac cruise well. Had a great time snorkeling in Thialand on Christmas Day. Great Times!!!
Hi Tim, I don't believe that I knew your dad on-board our ship. I was on the USS Cambria, and sometimes it gets mixed up with the USS Canberra. But it sounds like you have the right ship because it was decommissioned i9n 1969 or 1970. The USS Cambria also had a collision-at-sea on 8 July 1969 with the USS Shadwell. -Smitty-
As you can tell from that pic, Tim .....Dave is not only "not the sharpest pencil"...He's the "ERASER"!
Tim we use to hang out at breakaway's and the Crystal Place out on Jax Beach. Man you just brought back a ton of memories! You guys participated in Ocean Safari 1985 I have some pictures of the Jack Williams in port. I took a ton of pictures of the ships while moored in Mayport. I just have to find time to scan and upload in the near future. Thanks for adding me as a friend!
Jeff
Didn't work for the Stark.
Weird that what I remember the most is that your ship didn't have a CIWS.
