We are getting ready to ready to celebrate our 35th annual reunion in Grand Rapids ,Michigan on September 10-14th, 2025. Details are on both our sites.
I served onboard during her last 4 years from 77-80. I was PO4/EM3 Hanna in R-Div. Repair of the vast electrical power and machinery equipment. From bow to stern and from keel to top of the mast. What an adventurous career experience. I ended up retiring from the military 20 years later. Contact my email if you want to talk.
We have a running ships roster of over 275 members. We ask for, but not mandatory, for dues to support reunions and send out FlagHoist Newsletters. So contact my email if you would like to talk or find a shipmate. We also have a ships roster under https://www.hullnumber.com/. Fairwinds.

I served on board the USS Robert H McCard from April 1956 until November 1957, I first served on the Deck Force then transferred into the ships office as a Yeoman under Executive Office Gerald Langeaman, LTC. Always wondered where and how most of my shipmates turn out in life. I was from Indiana and still live in Indianapolis area. If anyone remembers me, my email is fmconrad@att.net and would be pleased to share information. The McCard was a great ship with some great individuals who serve on board her leaving her mark of great memories with all who served.
