I am proud to have served nearly
three years aboard the Reeves from
October 1965 to August 1968. I was
on the crew that took her to Yokosuka
in May '66 and brought her home to
Long Beach in '68. She was a fine
ship with an outstanding crew.
I don't know if some of the more
recent Reeves' sailors know this fact,
but in summer 1967 an airman with
the helicopter crew we were carrying
won the Navy Cross for a dramatic
rescue of a downed pilot. Boys, we
were so close to the beach you could
have spit and hit the sand! Tony
Hanson, wherever you are, God
bless you.
