USS Salisbury Sound 1951 & 1966

Great video clip. I was the son of the CO in command '52 to '53. Capt J. F. Quilter. Still remember visiting the ship in San Francisco Bay. John F. Quilter

great video, I was there from 1963 to 1964 does anyone know a tucker, mike Renn if so please responds,
Thanks again

Wow, what a cool video!! Jack, thanks for posting it . My dad was onboard the Sally from 62-66. I believe he was also in the V2 Division!

My brother served on the Sally and was killed in an auto accident in Bangkok, June 6th 1966. I wish I could find something out about him and his service. Our mother died last September wondering to her dying day if the story the Navy brought to them was the truth. His name was Richard V. Irish I think his last rank was BM3 that is what is on his head stone.

I served on Sally from mid 1962 until November 1964. I loved that ship and it was an honor to be in the Air Dept. I was the coxswain of ARB-2 and was ABH3 EAKMAN with about 12 guys in my crew. I wish I knew where they were today. I made many good friends while I was on Sally and think about them to this day.

Great video. My Father was career Navy(1942 to 1967)and we miss him dearly. Thanks for posting

vivahaus ,
The Sally did some coastal shelling with her 5in 38's on her last Yankee Station cruise.

Thanks Jack for the memories! I served on the Sally in those last days and have lots of good things to say about all of her crew. I'll never forget the times like in Cam-ran waters and the hot humid nights sleeping on deck. Those are times I think of alot. I think the US Navy lost when the Sally was put in mothballs! That was good duty compaired to the carrier duty on the Yorktown!

I also served aboard the Salisbury Sound from 1959 til' 1961. I was in the Airdale Boatswain Mate Division and I loved every minute I spent on board. I lost all of my paraphernalia from my time on board during hurricane Katrina. I mostly miss my year book from 1960. My name is Ray and my closest friend on board was a fellow from Wisconsin named Rudy. I hope he see's this footage. By the way, our captain was the greatest. Thanks so very much for this film, it's all I have now.
