@@ckooring i was an nonrated "deck ape" seaman on the Meyerkord, serving from 6/85 to 1/88. I struck and became a sonar tech in '86. I remember BM1 Sizer, BM2 Lofton and CPO Lawson with Ltjg Klister "the blister" of deck division.
I was on he Knox, FF-1052 from 85-87. Based in Yokosuka. We didn't have the phalanx on the back. We had the old sea sparrow missile system. I was a fire control tech.
I was on the USS Davidson DE-1045 as a non rated seaman. Chipped a lot of paint. Painted a lot of red lead. Was on the gunlne in 1972. Interesting times. Bob Simon did a news special on us.
I was on the Hepburn during her '85 cruise when she blew her main steam line (I was with the LAMPS helo detachment). Stuck in Subic Bay for over a month getting that fixed.
I got lucky. I got transferred to ComNavSurfPac before the Hartburn got deployed in '85 aka WestPac. I was not one of CPT Miller's favorite sailors. He was not one of my uncle's favorite captains. You don't mess with the director of Pacific Supply's budget. That is O8 level messing with. OK the wrong steam line install not good. Felt sorry for Commander Lyons. But I guess it did get better.
@@bajabret60 I believe we had just finished post yard shakedown and the captain wanted to see how fast it would go without a full fuel and ammo load. Maxed out 33 knots. At least this what CIC measured.
True story: I was "station to station phone talker" on USS Knox FF 1060 during a fuel unrep. This means that I wore a sound powered phone that was directly, physically connected to the fueling tanker by a suspended cable. (a radio silence feature). To my surprise, the ships performed an emergency breakaway as an unannounced drill. It sounded like rifle shots. Pow, pow, pow. As the couplers of the fuel lines broke apart and the lines dropped into the water. Then the coil of cable in front of me started reeling out rapidly. A cable connected to the headset that was strapped to my head! I barely got it unbuckled in time as I held up the headset and it leaped out of my hands and over the side. The line and attached headset trailed back into the churning screw of the tanker. After the evolution, the Executive Officer who had been observing from the signal bridge came down and told me, "You did the right thing, letting the sound powered phone go into the drink". I thought to myself, "The last thing I care about is preserving that damn sound powered phone." The thought never crossed my mind. This was my first ever attempt at this particular role and I had received no instruction prior to the evolution (My job was to basically repeat what our engineering department was saying as a relay communication to the other ship). Regardless, my word of caution to new trainees is DO NOT fasten your chinstrap for your headset for un rep. Leave it unfastened. Be able to immediately pull it off. That unbuckling of the headset was high anxiety. As a follow up to the story, we ported in Vancouver Canada for "Expo 86 Worlds Fair". The quarterdeck officer called me to the quarterdeck to receive a visitor. It was a sailor from the Canadian tanker. He handed over the sound powered phone. It was undamaged. I put it back in its stowage like nothing had ever happened.
In 1988 I was on the U.S.S Capodanno FF-1093, the ship never got the modification with the break on the bow and the beading just below the deck. Waves would wash over all the time.
Met the ship in Subic (first stop) Westpac 88/89. Puked my guts out for the first 2 months but had the time of my life. We spent about 45 days in Subic during 3 visits (they redid the mess decks and we ate at the base chow hall). Potter hugging Potter photo on Site tv. Merlin dropping his M-14 over the side standing the midwatch. Damn. I could go on and on…. Great memories. And yes, I was in OE division with you, Sandy. Up one deck. Hahaha
John Knapp i don’t know, maybe that tall mast area makes it look awkward. I remember a video where someone said they (knox class) didn’t handle too well in rough seas.
@@neilcarter77 I agree that Knox Class Frigates weren't very heavy weather friendly. Deployed on air det's during four long cruises in the late '70's - '89. Ouellett, Hammond, Brewton & Rathburn. Many short cruises on Badger, Peary and others in the same time period. Experienced at least one typhoon weather event. Impossible to sleep in your rack down deep in engineering spaces. Often slept in the helicopter chained down in the hangar but eventually the fuel sloshing up and out of the tanks via the vent valves made that impossible too. Hot food impossible. Only watch standers on duty, all weather deck hatches dogged down. Life like a bloody submarine.

I served as a Quartermaster on a Knox, The USS Fanning (FF-1076) I had to do many underway replenishments like this one.
I was a BM aboard USS Meyerkord FF-1058 1981-85. I loved being underway aboard that ship, I just wish I would have appreciated it more at the time!

great first ship, I was on her during this time, boiler tech
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Same here! Were you also onboard 2 years earlier when we hit a whale and had to be dry-docked? Hope this reply finds you well 2 years later
I got lucky. I got transferred to ComNavSurfPac before the Hartburn got deployed in '85 aka WestPac.

@@bajabret60 I remember that too. Guess turning on the sonar to find the whales was not good idea.
@@warrenpuckett4203 LOL i guess not. Can't recall what we were doing exactly, but seemed like a simple transit.

On the Patterson FF-1061 for her '74 Med cruise. I remember doing this at night.

served aboard USS Trippe FF-1075) loved this

I was on there when video was shot '85-'89
tank , we had some good times
@@mattkiley2990 yes we did
Did that many times on the Vreeland FF-1068. EN1/ENC (SW) 1981-1985.
USS Caloosahatchee (AO-98) 1974
That wasmy 1st ship in 1975.
USS Thomas C Hart FF-1092 86-90 1st ship and P&D rig captain. Unrep amost every 3 days underway in the sun or in fowl weather.
I was stationed on AOE-3 USS Seattle and did unreps e everyday
USS Gray FF 1054 1989 - 1991
Treasure Island, California.
If it happened prior to September, I'd have been there... probably on throttles...
Irish Honey Badger - USS Connole FF1056 1975 ~ 1979
i took this video from uss willamette..no one asked permission to re-post.
Knox class frigates look awkward when compared to the OHP class.
Looks awkward how? How it looks or how it handles in rough water along side an AO?
John Knapp i don’t know, maybe that tall mast area makes it look awkward. I remember a video where someone said they (knox class) didn’t handle too well in rough seas.

48 hours of weather like that is nutz.
@@AW1Lucky Yep. Been there. I was an ET on USS Hepburn 1055, 1979-82
I am A plant owner First trip out .
Canada, Then Hawaii, TOP of the line at its time!!
Your buddies
Go Navy. FF-1053
Right on brother. USS PATTERSON FF 1061
My first ship was the USS Donald B Beary FF-1085..what a piece of shit
