Comments: Men who served aboard the cold war-era US Navy destroyer USS Rich (DD/DDE 820) will hold their 22nd Annual Shipâ??s Reunion April 27th thru May 1st, 2015. The event will be held in Norfolk, Virginia. For many years the ship was home- ported in this Navy town. Each year the group meets at a different location in the east and mid-west and is hosted by a fellow shipmate.
The USS Rich Association is a fraternal-military group of former crew members from the naval ship which served the nation for 32 years. Of the thousands of men who were aboard at different times, nearly 1300 have been contacted.
