I was one of the eleven man communications team that accompanied President Eisenhower during his cruise on the Canberra (14-20 March 1957).
I'll never forget the ship sailing into Bermuda under full colors with the crew lining the deck. What a sight.

"The Unknown Soldier of WWII. Two unknown soldiers from WWII, one from the European and one from the Pacific Theater were placed in identical caskets and taken aboard the USS Canberra, a guided missile cruiser resting off the Virginia capes. Hospitalman First Class William R. Charett, then the Navy's only active duty Medal of Honor recipient, selected the unknown soldier of WWII. The remaining casket received a solemn burial at sea. My father, Enrico Pietro Quattrociocchi, served on the Canberra during WWII. Go Navy!!

I served aboard the Canberra from 1958-1962. I was on the around the world cruise, as well as many more. To the Caribbean several times, and to the Mediterranean many times. The North Atlantic. I wouldn't trade my memories for anything! I was aboard most of my four years active duty. I would love to hear from shipmates of that time period.

John Litwin S1/c, now 95 years of age,
was aboard Canberra during the action.
He is my uncle. We spend time together
weekly and often talk of our US Navy experiences. John continues to be in good health, is active, drives, and he
bowls 3 day a week. He is a proud
remnant of the Greatest Generation.
John sends regards to all who may
have served with him or remember him.

Shipmates

Sybil Fulk
Email: rjfdist@earthlink.net
Location: Klamath Falls, Or.
Comments:
I am still searching for shipmates of my late husband, Ralph Joseph Fulk. Ralph was from Bayard, W.Va. and served in total 6 years, from 1959-65. He had told me that he took the first world cruise on board the Canberra.
Then was in the reserves until the Vietnam War started, when he was called back in.
His records are just not complete. They do not mention anything about Vietnam, and yet I know he was there. He also told me that he went ashore, and added the stories of what happened when he did. I don't even know if the ship was close enough or docked to the shores of Vietnam.
I remember him mentioning working in the 5th division, and he also spoke often of being a gunners mate.
I know there are men left that not only remember him, but served by his side, and it is imperative that I find you.
Thanks so much and thanks for serving your country!
