Good directory Michael. Wish there were two photos of Biddle, DDG-5, in higher resolution profile and 3/4 view versions that show off the graceful yet serious-business lines of the CF Adams Class. FYI to your readers with Ham Radio licenses who served aboard Tin Cans -- we have on-air meetings two days a week (Wed 1300Z and Sundays 2000Z).

Info is available at: http://www.destroyers.org/communication%20center/tin_can_sailors_radio_net.htm

Thanks for maintaining this site.

I served on the USS Biddle from 1963 to 1964.  Do you have a list of the crew members during that time. I was learning to be a signal man.

Thanks for the great pictures of the USS C. V. Ricketts DDG 5. I was a crew member 1981-1985 and during the shipyard overhaul that the pictures show.

Thanks,
