Not for Nilsson but I’ve let Wendling know you’re trying to reach him.

Thanks Scott. I’ve always thought it was an appropriate phrase.

Larry, Thanks for reviving the old Navy saying, “Fair winds and following seas”. I first heard it in boot camp and maybe once or twice while I served. A couple years ago I was watching NCIS and Gibbs used it as a farewell. It brought back so many memories that it almost brought tears to my eyes.

I would be very interested in a copy on the 1972 cruise book. I contacted someone in D.C. and it was like $13.00 a page to copy it.

Louise, I can only work with what film people took and submitted for the video. There are Marines in the video, however they are from the Marine Fighter Squadron. I certainly would have included the Marine Detachment if they had been on any of the film.
Louise Goldsberry
I am unable to find anything on the Marine Detachment in pictures or video in the 1957-58 Med cruise. Is there nothing available? I have purchased the video and it is very interesting showing landmarks, etc but no Marines.

The rosters from the Cruise Books for 1964 & 65 are on the Crew Roster page. If they don’t appear in any Cruise Book I don’t have any information on them. If you are trying to locate them now and you know the name and approx. age I would suggest using privateeye.com or zabasearch.com to start.

How would I go about looking up someone that was on the ship between 1963 and 1965?

Thanks, Jim, for the offer of the 1972 book but one just arrived today on loan so I’m good.

larry,
i do have a 1972 cruise book if you still need one. i will need to get into my rafters to get it and if i recall it is in less than stellar condition, but not too bad. i also have a good collection of photos that i need to get to. i will see about sending them to you on a cd.
i just purchased both cd’s of the 73-74 cruise book, which mine is in really bad condition, and the 75 cruise book, which i never received.
i will let you know the condition of the 72 book as soon as i dig it up.
thanks for this site. it has brought back some great memories and put me in touch with yet another old shipmate, phil dyer. he was a friend of a friend on the ship and we met that way. i still am in contact with several old shipmates, and 1 airdale (LOL)…would you like their email addresses to add to your list? i am sending them all your web site address.
my time aboard was from aug. 72 to feb. 76. i started out in A div., A-5 gang (boat shop) and was the engineer on the Capts. GIG from nov. 72- mar.74. i was sent to fill a billet for an enginman in the A-1 gang (hydraulics: elevators, steering, anchor windlass, etc.) after my time on the GIG and was there till i got out.
those were some of the best years of my life, certainly the most memorable. thanks again for the hard work of assembling this site.
Terry, Thanks again…it was a great help.

I would like a copy of the 1967—68 Med cruise book.
Hi Larry
I have a copy of the 1972 Med Cruise “cruise book” if you still need it to copy
Terry
I would certainly be interested in the 1962 Med Cruise book.
You bet! Please scan them at the highest resolution you can and email them to me at larryb@verizon.net. I’ll post them on the site. Larry
I have a scrapbook of the CapeTown Newspapers when we were there in 67. I can scan them and send if you can use them.
Would like to have a copy of the 67-68 med cruise book. Mine burned in a house fire. Let me know if and when you can get me a copy. Thanks.
Phil, It just happens that the 1975 book is the next one I am going to work on. I’m finishing up on the 1973-74 book now.
I would have no problem buying a digital copy of a cruise book I never got a chance to buy (1975), at a reasonable price of course (:
