Dear Mr. Shears,
I am the nephew of LT. JG. Fitzgibbon. Literally, all I have as a memory of his service is a zippo lighter from the USS Cone. He passed in 2020, and I would love to hear any details you could share, from his time on the ship, especially whatever he contrived!
Kind regards,
Joe Fitzgibbon
Active 1976 – 1979 was a great command. BM3 Had some great times. Retired 1999. From SIMA Mayport FL.
For a full year back in 65’, was assigned to the Cone right out of ASW school before being xferred to the Long Beach. It was a fun experience, one that I will never forget, plus it was also sad. Fun that I met and worked with some fabulous guys, fun that we visited Mayport Florida and saw the ole Saratoga tied up there, and total fun after steaming back out into the Atlantic and heading North we got to experience a swim call with at least two other Cans, with the Shark lookouts and all. Experienced a night time refueling with both ships completely decked out with red lights, and was assigned to the the main deck detail to man the lines that handled the fuel lines with many others, one of which who was my best friend Larry Beaner. All the while we were man handling those heavy lines, the rolling action of the Cone not only caused those high waves that she was cutting thru, to travel down the main deck and totally engulf us at times but, also because the sea became highly agitated by our presence, she in turn intimidated us, as her frothy waves sped by our own few feet as we held on for dear life with our eyes wide open. LT.JG. Fitzgibbon our ASW Officer, contrived a way to get me xferred to the Long Beach and back to the West Coast, something that I will never forget. It was also sad, because while out in the Atlantic, a shipmate was lost overboard on another Can, and we stayed up all night manning the rails in hopes of locating him. He was seen in the wave action but, when the whale boat went out to get him placing themselves in jeopardy, the shipmate was not seen again. In the late morning the search was called off. Fun, that after we had returned to Charleston, after training with a sub, I was sent over to the same sub ( ME A SEAMAN) to pick up documents pertaining to the exercise, and was shown around the active duty sub. Another AWESOME experience. Have recently reconnected with my best friend Larry, and life goes on with continued awesome experiences….:)
Active on board 1961 – 1963. RD2 Still kicking; retired in Finger Lakes, NY.
