  I was onboard fron 1976-1979. I spent time in V-2 Division Arresting Gear, and as a ships Investigater.
  I am looking for a V-2 Division Maintance Officer that served on any ship back arround 1972 that remembers that we used asbestos cloth in pouring sockets. If you know anyone that remembers this I need to prove it to the VA. I can be contacted at rhowell55@gmail.com. I would also like to herar from any old shipmates that remember me.

  She was my first tour, although I wasn't stationed there long. Not fun being in the Boatswain dept with no assigned rate at the time. Left her to go to Signalman A school and never looked back.
