Subject: USS HOLLISTER DD788

My name is Joe Pizzuto, I was stationed aboard the Jolly Holly from 6 July 72 - 28 Nov 73. I was an HT3. I worked out of the shipfitter shop. Powderman in Mount 51 & 52 during modified condition II wartime steaming. In charge of Repair 2 forward. #1 O.B.A. man, Sceneleader. I was the only person carrying a camera all the time. I have a lot of pictures. I'll get my pictures together, get my scanner together, and send some pictures another time. I have pictures of Shrike Missiles mounted on top of Asroc Launcher, they were hand loaded. This was during Northern Linebacker, two weeks G.Q. all night up North, to take out radar sites before jets would go in. Two weeks on and two weeks off. I also served as a reservist on the ship in 1975/76 I'll get everything together for next time. Thanks for the memories.
