Years Served: 1955…I served on Hopewell during 1955 and was assigned to after engine room, also know as secret snack bar after new food supplies were brought on board. After engine room hatch was in just the right location. I will never forget the Goodwill Cruise to the Far East, still have my cruise book. Petty Officers E.T.Jones and Shaneyfelt, to great guys to have in charge of us. Buying black market jewelry in Hong Kong. Girlfriends wanting to marry us in Subic Bay Phillipines. Huge ships party in Yokuska Japan. Riding rickshaws in Singapore. I enjoyed all of my Navy time except the few days in Norfolk, Va. Sydney Nova Scotia was wonderful on another cruise, another ship. I would enjoy hearing from old friends or anyone else from Hopewell.
