Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
I was aboard Biddle for only about 5 months, upon it's arrival from a 9 month WestPac cruise. It did not get underway and was schudled for a 6 month yard overhaul. I was refered to as a "Fleet Sailor", which is to say I was ready to deploy overseas. I was able to get a swap to the USS Joesphus Daniels which was ready to deploy on a 9 month WastPac cruise. I remember and miss yoy my friend, Balkie.
