Many of us (including your webmaster) served on her in places like Spain, Italy, Charleston, New London, Kings Bay and the war zone during the first gulf war that are all big and important parts of her history. However, she served several tours in Holy Loch and many of our shipmates, as well as many residence of Dunoon have fond memories of our ship there. Thanks to Jean McAulay Mackay who originally posted this on Facebook and to Danny and Judy Poole who got us a cleaner, digital version from the publisher.
Twin sisters, both gone now.

I am sad to report that we lost another shipmate July 10, 2024.
Danny was a MR2 in R1 from 1967 to 1970 on AS33. Danny Pyles and his wife Carol were very active at all of our reunions.
He will be missed by those who served with him and all of us who enjoyed his company at the reunions.
PO2 Pyles you are relieved, we have the watch. Fair winds and a following sea shipmate.
