Subject: USS Berkeley DDG-15

After having served aboard the USS Harlan R. Dickson DD-708 in 1961 I became an original crew member (Plank Owner) of the USS Berkeley DDG-15 in 1962. I served as a Radioman 2nd during the Tonkin Gulf Incident(s) during 1964. I am not certain exactly when the photo of the Berkeley was taken, but I am sending it anyway. The last ship I served on briefy was the USS Brush DD-745I will follow with that photo later.
