Welcome to the USS New Jersey BB-62 Guestbook Forum

Served aboard the Big J from Sept 1967 till Sept 1969. Separated from service at the shipyards in Bremerton Washington where she was put to sleep to await her next duty. Have many pictures & memories.

I served On the USS New Jersey BB 62 over in Lebanon Beirut and New Year’s 83 to 84 for the first time when I landed in Northfork Virginia that I was told by an admiral and 200 of us that we probably would not come back they told me that I could go back home and says I’m not going home with my tail between my legs, so I was over there for 54 days volunteering on the USS New Jersey I know I’m good doing good for my fellow brothers in arms, but I want them to come home during Christmas time to be with their families and to take their place And that is cooking for the men abroad my ship that l also am very proud to serve a board her.
