Jim McFerrin & I reported aboard the USS Columbus CG-12 in Feb. 1963. She was in Bremerton, WA. I recall visiting many places: Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco, Long Beach, & San Diego. But, the very best event was when the USS Columbus CG-12 sailed from San Diego on 5 August 1964 for a WestPac cruise. We were in Hawaii (11-13 August). Guam was our next stop (23-24 August). We arrived in Subic Bay on 28 August,1964. Columbus visited Hong Kong three times (24-28 Sept) (16-21 Oct) & (31 Dec-3 Jan 1965). We visited Yokosuka (3 times), Sasebo (2 times), Kagoshima (3-7 Dec), Kure (16-18 Dec), & Beppu (18-21 Dec). We arrived back in San Diego on 6 Feb 1965. I left the Navy & the USS Columbus CG-12 in August 1965. I got to know many fine shipmates aboard "The Tall Lady". I look back on my time aboard her as some of the best years of my life. I wear my USS Columbus CG-12 cap every day. I would enjoy hearing from any shipmates from the good old days aboard the finest cruiser in the Navy.

I was an MR-3 on CA-74 prior to transferring to an ARL in 1952. I was aboard from Dec 1950 (fresh out of boot camp in Newport) to mid 1952 (if my memory serves me) I was both in Mike and Able divisions. I was aboard for the yard job in Boston when we changed out the 40MM for 3inch 50's. My home town was in the Springfield, MA area. I now live in Plymouth, MA
