This is a COMPLETE LIST of the ships that were DE - WDE - DER/FFR. What started as a search for the ship I served on during 1966 - 1969 three years ago, VANCE DER387 has led me on a search that has given me the following information that I was not aware of when I served on the VANCE. I was not aware of the richness of the history of the Vance and the ships that shared her hull type [DER] and class [EDSALL]. George Blust EN2 January 2003 |
