Shipmate Stories

 

 

The USS Dealey (DE 1006) and the Cuban Crisis.
By A.T.Perry II PhD PE CHFP (Radarman 2nd 62-65)

  I was in a café in Newport one evening when the Shore Patrol came in looking at ship’s patches and sending the DE and DD sailors back to their ships. We were loaded onto busses and taken back to the Destroyer Piers. Nobody knew why liberty was canceled. When I got on board O’Connor RD1 sent me to cast loose the antennas. I went up the mast and did it. It was not my favorite job, I don’t like heights!!! As soon as the snipes got up steam we cast off. Not all hands got back to the ship on time. It was quite a sight to see. All the DE’s and DD’s sortieing down Narragantset bay, past Goat Island and out to sea.  We went from Special Sea Detail to GQ. We turned south and passed Martha’s Vineyard. Still no word about what was going on. Finally, around midnight, the old man, CMDR George B. Lindgren, came up on the 1MC and said that President Kennedy said that the Russians had put missiles in Cuba and we were going to Moorhead City to meet amphibs with Marines. Later our Department Head, LT. T.P. Jones, gave us more information. He later went to ComCortRon10 staff. Our Division Officer was LTJG Forys. Our leading PO at the time was Chief Mingo. As it turned out we ended up patrolling off the coast of Florida. It was exciting when we encountered a Soviet Block ship that would not stop for us. The old man ordered Mount 31 manned, loaded with BL&P, and trained around on the port bow. The Soviet Block ship went DIW and they all began to wave and smile. Most of the patrol was just bad weather. A cup of instant chicken noodle soup and bologna sandwiches for chow because the weather was too rough for the Galley.  Port and Starboard watches for the Radar Gang. The new P3 Orians marking on top as they checked the boundaries of their patrol areas. Everyone was glad when we got to go back to port.
