vivahaus ,
The Sally did some coastal shelling with her 5in 38's on her last Yankee Station cruise.

Thanks Jack for the memories! I served on the Sally in those last days and have lots of good things to say about all of her crew. I'll never forget the times like in Cam-ran waters and the hot humid nights sleeping on deck. Those are times I think of alot. I think the US Navy lost when the Sally was put in mothballs! That was good duty compaired to the carrier duty on the Yorktown!

I also served aboard the Salisbury Sound from 1959 til' 1961. I was in the Airdale Boatswain Mate Division and I loved every minute I spent on board. I lost all of my paraphernalia from my time on board during hurricane Katrina. I mostly miss my year book from 1960. My name is Ray and my closest friend on board was a fellow from Wisconsin named Rudy. I hope he see's this footage. By the way, our captain was the greatest. Thanks so very much for this film, it's all I have now.

Actually, the rust was on the ammo, WWII surplus that behaved erratically. The worst was our return to Con Son, when a young sailor on watch by himself in the 5" powder magazine started fiddling with a hand grenade fuse and pulled the pin. Messed up his hand and face, and cost me a lot of paperwork as investigating officer. FSV

Thank God I wasn't on the Currituck when that took place. All that rust falling from the ceiling while you're trying to eat.
