Reasons for reading about the Vance= To find shipmates, Other
Comments= After reading the articles about Des in WW2 I know why CDR Rollins choose the DEs for use during the Koren War. They had been manned by Coast Guard crews during WW2! All any of the Falgout's crew said was "they were the best ones at Green Cove Springs" I was the first new crewman assigned to Falgout when she arrived in Seattle, WA. I missed the Hurricane off Cuba and all the fun/partys on the trip from Norfolk thru the canal to Seattle.

I would like to find some pictures of Falgout in her white coat of paint With W424 on the bow.
