    I was a GM chief aboard the Mobile from 1972 through 1975. Does anyone remember, "Dangerous Dan the anchorman" (Lt. Danforth weapons officer )

    I came onboard in 83 after boot camp and radiomen "A" school. It was tough for me because I had a chief that hated Hispanics. Luckily, after almost two year, I broke my ankle at Pearl Harbor and I was taken off the ship and ended up on the USS Camden before being honorably discharged.

    USS Mobile was my next to last ship, and I only spent a few weeks aboard her in early 1970 as she was undergoing sea trials getting ready for her first deployment to Vietnam. I was transferred to USS Pickaway for decommissioning and an early out.
