Fastest can in fleet 1970-71. After being on gun line then in Indian Ocean with Enterprise, going back to Subic, all other escorts breaking down, Enterprise skipper radioed our's, can't wait for you, see you in Subic.He read it to entire ship- we had great BT's and MM's, steamed 28-33 kts and beat Enterprise to liberty call. I only remember 2-3 bells. Will try to find ship cruise book.

Please link my site for the USS McKean DD 784. I am scanning my cruise book (71-72) for additional pics. Also writing my buddy who stayed on ship after it went reserve. Thanks.

Served on board Mighty Mac from 28 August 1970 to 23 July 1972. Thanks for linking my page, already have response from Arnold Hofmann, CDR USN Retired who served as supply officer on 1970 WestPac. I was missing that information so have already updated web page.
