I was very fortunate to have a great CT team led by CTTC Mike Wingert, who routinely provided sage counsel (to all of us). Outside of OUTBOARD, I stood EWO watches in CIC. Had the conn on the bridge exactly once. While watching an UNREP from the port bridge wing, the CO told me to take the conn, shortly after which he announced an emergency breakaway (a drill). The next few minutes are a bit fuzzy, but I managed not to break the Navy?s biggest cruiser. At the end, the ops officer whacked me on the back and said, ?Quite an adrenaline dump, huh?? Color blindness rendered me a bad risk for bridge watches as OOD underway, so never had the conn again. 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 12/25/2017 1.FullName: Richard Adams 2.NickName: Rick 3.ArriveDate: 1972 4.DepartDate: 1972 5.RateRating: Corporal 6.Email: 7.Comments: USS Paul Revere 8.OnLineRoster: No 10/25/2017 1.FullName: Jim J.

We worked the North and South Vietnamese coastlines including the "Yankee Station" operations area. We alternated ops duties with the USS Oxford (AGTR-1). We visited several Far Eastern ports including Singapore British Naval Base; Yokosuka, Japan; Kaosiung, Taiwan (again); dry-dock at the US Navy Base in Subic Bay, Phillipines. Olongapo City was a happening place. There were some others, but I seem to have forgotten them. I, and a few of my shipmates, also found time to venture "in-country" and perform "R" Branch duties. I just remembered: one of the most interesting duties came when a select few of us were designated for TAD at Fuchinobe, Japan. This came while we were undergoing overhauls in Yokosuka, Japan. Fuchinobe was not a full-fledged military site. There were a lot of civilians working there. We figured they were probably NSA and/or CIA. We saw a different side of the operations duties we were assigned to handle. While working at Fuchinobe, we stayed at Camp Zama, the US Army Garrison HQ, Japan. The soldiers at Camp Zama couldn't quite figure us out. In those days, a Navy Third Class (E-4) Petty Officer had the same privileges as an Army NCO; however, an Army Spec 4 (E-4) was not an NCO, although a Corporal (E-4) was an NCO. Navy E-4s were granted entrance to the NCO Club, with Corporals and Sergeants, while Spec 4's were relegated to the Enlisted Mens' Club. We heard a lot of interesting conversations regarding that situation. I departed the Vietnamese Ops Area via Vung Tau, South Vietnam. I caught a helicopter to Tan Son Nhut, the US Air Base near Saigon. I slept in a quonset hut while the VC set off star-shells and artillery while preparing to disrupt the last presidential election held in what was then South Vietnam. 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 6/15/2015 1.FullName: Michael J.

Our detachment was the "ears" of the ship during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 and we were 20 minutes from launching a nuclear strike which might have begun with a call from our shack to the Admiral of the carrier group. The civilian world will never completely understand how close we came to nuclear destruction. Scary to have been on those "front lines".
