My grandfather has led a long and outstanding life. He and my beautiful grandmother raised 3 wonderful and compassionate daughters, each haveing raised families with values and integrity matched by few. I would love to hear any stories or remembrances that someone may have to share, as these tales and thoughts can be passed on from generation to generation.

I'm looking for cruise books for the years, 58, 59, 60. I don't know why I never got the books, but would like to have a copy of them. If anyone has copies, I'd be willing to pay for them.

What an improvement to the web site. Did not have any buttons to click on before. This is much better; congratulations!!
Will be at the convention in San Diego. Looking forward to meeting anyone having been on the ship from Oct.1960 to Nov. 1963 to spin some yarn (from premature 5" bursts to sea bats on the middies cruise).

I was part of the precommissioning detail. I served as part of the repair division. I spent two years from 1956-1958 and was transferred just before the world cruise. I'm retired now for over 20 years. My rate upon retirement was HTCS or DCCS. Would be happy to hear from any shipmates.

Hi, my father served aboard for the recommissioning cruise in 1956. He lost this (and all of his) cruise book in Hurricane Andrew - a direct hit as he was living in Homestead, FL at the time. I was wondering if anyone had a lead on where to find a replacement.
Thx

I wonder about old shipmates such as Al Gambetta, David Ford, Glen Newland, Tom Cotter: probably spelled wrong, or Mike Dillingham.or ?dillywacker" I was a very young ?kid? on CAG-2, I loved duty on her a lot.

If you want to send a note, please put "Canberra sailorman? in the subject line. tom@tguy.com is my email. I hope to hear from you

I was going through my father's "junk" as he called it. (why would something that was "top secret" that no one was allowed to disturb would be called "junk" I do not know. I found a scrapbook filled with itty bitty pictures, news clippings about the torpedoing and things like that. There is even a few oil paintings he was proud of. It was sad that when we wanted to talk about his experience aboard the Canberra back in 43-45; he would get real quiet and tell us only a few things. He often said that these things were best kept to the depths of the sea.
There are a bunch of yellow tissue paper traveling papers and specs papers. I do not know if they are of any value to anyone.
There are also special officers club tickets and matchbooks.
I am bringin this up because the 4th of July fireworks reminded me of when my father would tell us that aboard the ship with the guns going full blast, it was consitent fireworks.
Oh well, I was just wondering....
BTW, Dad DIED in 1998.

Served on Canberra CAG-2 from 10/64 to 9/66 in the OE Division as an ETR. If my memory is correct, Ken Minick was a First Class ET who liked to give people nicknames, mine was "Doc". Made two WestPac Cruises. Retired in '83 as an ETC after twenty years. Now a professional Santa Claus.

Hello: I was looking at ships on the net, and I thought about the Canberra. My husband was on that ship around 1967 and 68. I was interested in the ship itself. We are trying to find some of the people that were on the ship during that time. We are interested in talking to anyone who was aboard during that time period. Thank you very much.
