Years Served: 1957 -1958…I was ET3 when I made one WestPac cruise on the Jumpin’ Jimmy in 1957. We visited Hawaii, Western Samoa, Melbourne, Brisbane, Port Moresby, Subic Bay, Hong Kong, Kaoshiung, Keelung, Okinawa, Yokosuka, Kobe, Sasebo, and had adventures I will never forget. It was a great time to be a young swabbie! Then I transferred to USS Saint Paul CA-73 in 1958 and went back to Asia for 35 years.

In commemoration of William Edward Schaiberger, a cherished brother, uncle, and friend, let us remember his unwavering dedication to his country, his pursuit of knowledge, and his steadfast faith. May his memory endure as a beacon of inspiration and may his soul find eternal peace.
I’m still surprised that we even Survided the Trip! I’m on the bottom right of page 75 and tat’s Bushs foot kicking the dirt for real!
My Father (Richard Montjoy III) served on the Keyes from around 1962 -1964. He passed away in 1977 from cancer but I remember the James E. Keyes emblem on some pictures in his office. He had great stories from his time in the Navy. If anyone remembers my father, I’d love to hear from them. Bless you all for serving.
