| I served onboard the TJ from 1972 - 1976. I remember the last round fired in Viet Nam, I watched it from the o1 level. Iwas a comminsaryman, CS3, but at the time of the last round fired I was an E2 or E3. Reading the stories brought some good times and some sad ones. |

| Just learned, a former shipmate with TACRON 22 sailed on Turner Joy. Also, an uncle of mine was a tin can sailor and I've been unable to find his ship, so I can adopt it. He was James Clifford & sailed in WW2 in Pacific, I know because he sent home a Japanese rifle. |

| Cruised the San Juans a couple years ago and was surprised to see the TJ sitting there in Bremerton. Brought back a lot of memories of past shipmates and good friends! |

| I am grateful for this website! I hope it gets as much activity as nichecom.com did. Out of my 29 years in the US Navy, my time aboard the TJ was the most adventurous, most rewarding, saw the highest tempo of combat operations. Great ship! |

| I was very fortunate to have been chosen as the first CO (59-61) of the very best destroyer in the fleet
during that time frame and I still believe this to this day. Helping
me fine tune Turner Joy into a high state of readiness was the
greatest crew ever assembled. And, this crew was followed by many others equally talented. My pride in the ship and crew was further enhanced by the fact that I, at one time, served as Aide to VAdm Joy at the U. S. Naval Academy from 1952-1954. I hope all fellow shipmates will take the time to join as a member of the Turner Joy Reunion Group.
Thank you,
R.S. Wentworth, Jr.
RADM. U.S. Navy, Ret.

| At last, thanks to Jack Haskell who designed this web site we are again able to post our comments in this guest book. Shipmates are invited to read the TJ's history, which is part of this site, and refresh your memory of the events that occurred while you served on board. Hopefully you will then relate some "sea stories" to this guest book. |
