I was aboard her from 1961 to 1964 as a Gun Fire Control Technician. Thank you, Scott H. Lonis --------- From: Edward Gann [email protected] To: Glenn Barbee Date: Dec.9,2005 Time: 0748 Good Morning, I served aboard the Uss Renshaw DDE-499 from October 1959 to June 1961.I was in the USNR and was in the quartermaster gang. There was only three of us....the chief , the third class qm, and me a seaman. On our WESPAC cruise we stood port?starboard watches. But as I look back on those times, I realize just how much I really enjoyed serving aboard this ship.And being fresh out of high school my mind wasn't on taking pictures. So, now I don't have any pictures of the ship I served on. I now ask you if there are any real good{quality} pictures of the Renshaw that I might purchase? Also, as I collect caps are there any baseball caps out there with the ships name and logo on them that I might find? Or anything else that might be of interest. I await your reply,and thanks a million in advance!
