Welcome to the USS Hamner DD-718 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: I joined in 60 and got out in 1965…I joined in 60 and got out in Bremington, Wash in 65. I was released from the USS Morton DD 948 in San Diego and went aboard the USS Hamner in 64. I stayed aboard her for six months as she was going overseas and I didn’t have much time to go before getting out. I left her in Nov of 64 and went to the USS Watts to help put her out of commission. I was a I/C3 when aboard the Hamner. Would like to hear from some of the guys and bring back memories.

Years Served: August 1964 – December 1966…I was a Damage Controlman 1st Class during my time no board. I retired from the Navy in November 1977 as a Lt. Would certainly like to commuincate with some of my old shipmates. Can anyone remember our WesPac Cruise in 1965? She really was a fine vessel. I enjoyed my shipmates and time served onboard her.

Years Served: 1971-1975…I had a great time on the Hamner and met many freinds. I served on her from 71-75 and worked in Main Control as well as the Aft Engine Room.

Years Served: 1974-1975…I picked up the Hamner after C class on gyro-compasses in Great Lakes. It was either an oiler en route on a WestPac tour, or the Hamner. It was a reserve can and we went to Hawaii with a shipload of reserve sailors, and returned with a different group of reserve sailors.

Years Served: 1961-1966…Hello old crew. I served on the USS Hamner out of RD-A school while the Hamner was in fram in SF. Stayed my whole tad. RD3. Looking for buddies, David Carey, Roy Robinson, and any of the rest of the gang. Reach out.
