My father, David A. Mullen, served onboard between 67-70 (not sure of exact dates) MM3. He loved that ship. His best friend was Donny Young, not sure of his rate. My father is the reason I joined, and I did 24 years in the Navy as a Cryptologist.

I was wondering if there was a cruise book ever produced during that time frame.

Thank you all for your service.
