vivahaus , The Sally did some coastal shelling with her 5in 38's on her last Yankee Station cruise.

Thanks Jack for the memories! I served on the Sally in those last days and have lots of good things to say about all of her crew. I'll never forget the times like in Cam-ran waters and the hot humid nights sleeping on deck. Those are times I think of alot. I think the US Navy lost when the Sally was put in mothballs! That was good duty compaired to the carrier duty on the Yorktown!

I also served aboard the Salisbury Sound from 1959 til' 1961. I was in the Airdale Boatswain Mate Division and I loved every minute I spent on board. I lost all of my paraphernalia from my time on board during hurricane Katrina. I mostly miss my year book from 1960. My name is Ray and my closest friend on board was a fellow from Wisconsin named Rudy. I hope he see's this footage. By the way, our captain was the greatest. Thanks so very much for this film, it's all I have now.

Thank God I wasn't on the Currituck when that took place. All that rust falling from the ceiling while you're trying to eat.

Actually, the rust was on the ammo, WWII surplus that behaved erratically. The worst was our return to Con Son, when a young sailor on watch by himself in the 5" powder magazine started fiddling with a hand grenade fuse and pulled the pin. Messed up his hand and face, and cost me a lot of paperwork as investigating officer. FSV
