Comments : Great site.I served on the USS Fanning FF-1076 from 74 to 77.We had our MPA get fired which moved the DCA up a notch.That left me,an EMC,to fill in as DCA and R-division.Made for some very long days
as we were in WeatPac and stating to get ready for the ship's first yard period.We did pretty well though and I give all the credit for that to the great Petty Officers and non-rated men that served with me in
R-division(sorry no girl sailors then).
Anyhow thanks for a great site. Chief Mac USN(ret)
