I served on the USS Diamondhead AE-19 as a 3rd Class Corpsman off the coast of VietNam 1967. Great Ship, one hard-ass working crew, never saw anything like it. The more they were given, the harder they worked.
-
'm sure my ship...USS Providence CLG-6 got many bullets and bacon from this AE.
-
I was on the Bachi from Jan78 to Aug80....when I say I grew up on that ship,I ain't lying. I felt like I became a Man on her decks.

I dont care what those "New" MSTS or what ever AE's have over us. Anyone who ever sailed on a Suribachi class AE is the real deal. I was aboard Mauna Kea AE 22 for at least 1 and a half WESPAC in the Middle 70s. Never seen The Nam or the Tonkin gulf or did Gunline duty, but did see the westac for my first time aboard her, did lotsa UNREPS, Even got to be part of the party in an Emergency Breakaway. Made HM3 and HM2 while with the "Tuna Boat". Our beloved Mauna Kea is at the bottom now.

I served onboard fall of 1959 to June 1963, Grand Ship

I served on her in Viet Nam. I was a bosun mate in 1st Division. Was in charge of the sail locker. Great ship and shipmates.

Ungrateful end to grand lady - she deserved better than that. Hell, I could've come up with 20K!

@SSGLew
She has been scrapped. She was sold for $20,000, moved, then scrapped.

@Bigleaf21 She was scrapped at International Shipbreaking Ltd., Brownsville, Texas. I worked aboard it as a Shipbreaking laborer removing fiberglass and later asbestos as an asbestos worker. Two live grenades were found aboard and the ship had to be evacuated while the Brownsville bomb squad got there. Feisty to the end she refused to go quietly.
