Went to the site on ports of call and found that you had not entered 2 Med trips that were made during 59-62.During that time we also made a trip to the North Atlantic and crossed over the Artic Circle thus becoming bluenosers.We fell behind the rest of the squadron due to the fact that we hit a submerged log in the St.Johns River on our way out the channel.We were sent to a shipyard in Jacksonville to have a new screw put on.We were in a floating drydock and at this time a shipsservicemen was reported missing(awol etc.).He surfaced a couple of days later alongside the ship.We got under way right into the eye of a hurricane.Since we were alone we pulled into Argentia Newfoundland for fuel.From there we went to a place in Iceland to refuel and then went on picket station above the Artic Circle.This was part of a NATO exercise and our liberty port was Edinburg Scotland.From there we returned to Mayport.Somewhere in this house i have listed all the ports we were in during my time aboard.If i find them will forward so that you can update that site.

Thanks for putting up the site. I served on the MC Fox from July '65 through late 66. Decided not to extend tour in order to make west-pac cruise. Served as FTG3, maintained the Mark 1A computer (gearbox!), the Mark 5 TDS, and the Mark 25 Target Search Radar. Stood special sea detail helm. During my tour, we made the Med cruise, and from Newport to Caribbean.

I was answering a question to my 6 yr old son about the years i served in the navy.it brought me back to a time when i myself asked my father those same questions.  And the answers he gave were explained to the fullest detail. The USS MYLES C FOX is in my memory for life.  I would have been honored just to have stepped on the same deck as my father had and or served on what was explained to me as the best time of his life.

So far when i bring the photos up all i see are mates from the 60's and up. Do tin can sailors have the Fox web site?. ny way there should still be some alive when i was aboard in 1946& 47 then again not.  I know a mate who lives in West St. Paul, Mn. Harold Schmit, and one by the name of Allison from Yankton So. Dakota. How many shipmates are presently on the roster Paul? Bob Sattler

Does anyone remember being tied up at the state piers in Fall River MA. 1955-56. I stood watch on that pier and thought I was in the North Pole---it was freezing. Couple of mates got into trouble breaking into a certain ensign cad hot wired it and was keeping warm--listeing to the radio and got to cozy -- feel asleep. Don't what happen to them. Come on some of you old salts from that era lets hear from you. I know you out there. I have been on some other military web sites and none come as close as this site. Keep up the great work Paul.Mike.<><

I was on the Fox in 59-60 and boarded her in Newport RI when the FOX was part of DesRon 8. I was a 'deck ape' at the time. I left the Fox around mid 1960 to go to ET School Great Lakes and then served out my enlistment on the Valley Forge. Things I remember: CDR Robinson, Frank Sonofrank, I believe from JohnstownPA and was 1st class boatswains mate. I believe another was Bill Deal? I remember a Med-cruise in late 1959 when we took a 72 degree roll and would would up in Toulon France dry dock for hull repairs. Great liberity since we were the only US ship there. We were in Naples for Christmas 1959. The Med was especially rough that year and we had a guy hurt during replenishing. He had to be transfered to the Essex for medical attention. During the "highline" exercise of transfering this guy we lost our steering and the poor guy wound up in the drink. I was aboard the FOX in 1960 when we visited Mayport FL which I believe became her new home port. I currently live in Cape Coral FL I enjoyed the web page. Thanks.

I was a spook sent up to Fox during 1972 Operation BRIGHT PENNY. Fox earned Combat Action Ribbon for taking counterbattery fire. I, along with another CTT1 Albert E. (Charlie) Noble, were with Fox for about two weeks in April/Mary '72. Crew was fantastic. I don't remember anybody's name (too short time onboard, but I do recall incident when we were taking counter-battery fire. Charlie and I were using your ECM gear (AN/WLR-1 and ULQ-6) during the attack - Charlie was manning the Whirlly-One, I was tracking with ULQ-6; the Ensign (EW Officer) was ducking under the table -- Stars & Stripes Pacific had a front page photo of our/your ship with two huge geysers straddling her from the shore fire. CLOSE!!!!) I eventually retired from canoe club as CWO in 1985. My best to you Tin Can Sailors -- I salute you!

I was born while my father served in M.C.Fox from 1956-1958 hence the ship has a special place in my heart. I used to see the ship pull into the Naval Reserve Center at Fort Schuyler when I was a student at N.Y. Maritime. I am still in the Navy and know how great it is to keep in touch with old shipmates. I'm delighted to see such an active group and wish you all the best! Sincerely, Howard L.Stone III

Good job in producing the site for DDR-829. I was a stewburner onboard a short while in '54-'55 (I can remember the GITMO cruise and the guns firing at Vieques and at some towed targets, I was discharged from the ship in '55 The Supply Officer was Lt. J.D. Brett, who later became the Exchange Officer at Military Sea Transportation Service, Atlantic and who gave me a job at the Brooklyn, NY office. I retired after 40 years with MSTS.

Thanks for a great and through job on DDR-829 website. I was onboard a short time as stewburner in '54-'55 and was discharged from the ship. I can remember sailing to GITMO and through a storm in the North Atlantic. The SUPPO at the time was Lt. Justin D. Brett. He became an Exchange Officer at Military Sealift Command, Atlantic in Brooklyn, NY. He gave me a job as a supply clerk in '55 and I spent my 40 year career working up that system and eventually became it's director. Don't see anyone who I can remember from my days onboard, but then again the '54-'55 time frame is short. Good health and happiness to all former shipmates and readers.

Randolph CVS-15 also stationed one year in Iceland(Grindavick) Fargo Building Boston FFT to M.C. Fox DDR 829 also FASRON 111 Bermuda. then to NAS Memphis. I will have to pick the M.C. Fox as the ship that did the most for me in growing up. Mike<><
