    Members of the USNA Class of 1963 Who Served in the Vietnam War. Compiled by Stephen Coester '63 Supplement to the List of Over Three Hundred Classmates Who Served in Vietnam 1 Phil Adams I was on the USS Boston, Guided Missile Cruiser patrolling the Vietnam Coast in '67, and we got hit above the water line in the bow by a sidewinder missile by our own Air Force. ------------------- Ross Anderson [From Ross’s Deceased Data, USNA63.org]: Upon graduation from the Academy on 5 June 1963, Ross reported for flight training at Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) which he completed at the top of his flight class (and often "Student of the Month") in 1964. He then left for his first Southeast Asia Cruise to begin conducting combat missions in Vietnam. Landing on his newly assigned carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) at midnight, by 5 am that morning he was off on his first combat mission. That squadron, VF-154 (the Black Knights) had already lost half of its cadre of pilots. Ross' flying buddy Don Camp describes how Ross would seek out flying opportunities: Upon our return on Oct 31, 1965 to NAS Miramar, the squadron transitioned from the F-8D (Crusader) to the F4B (Phantom II). We left on a second combat cruise and returned about Jan 1967. In March or April of 1967, Ross got himself assigned TAD [temporary additional duty] to NAS North Island as a maintenance test pilot. I found out and jumped on that deal. We flew most all versions of the F8 and the F4 as they came out of overhaul.

  • Ships Built by the Charlestown Navy Yard
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boston National Historical Park Charlestown Navy Yard Ships Built By The Charlestown Navy Yard Prepared by Stephen P. Carlson Division of Cultural Resources Boston National Historical Park 2005 Author’s Note This booklet is a reproduction of an appendix to a historic resource study of the Charlestown Navy Yard, which in turn was a revision of a 1995 supplement to Boston National Historical Park’s information bulletin, The Broadside. That supplement was a condensation of a larger study of the same title prepared by the author in 1992. The information has been derived not only from standard published sources such as the Naval Historical Center’s multi-volume Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships but also from the Records of the Boston Naval Shipyard and the Charlestown Navy Yard Photograph Collection in the archives of Boston National Historical Park. All of the photographs in this publication are official U.S. Navy photographs from the collections of Boston National Historical Park or the Naval Historical Center. Front Cover: One of the most famous ships built by the Charlestown Navy Yard, the screw sloop USS Hartford (IX-13) is seen under full sail in Long Island Sound on August 10, 1905. Because of her role in the Civil War as Adm. David Glasgow Farragut’s flagship, she was routinely exempted from Congressional bans on repairing wooden warships, although she finally succumbed to inattention when she sank at her berth on November 20, 1956, two years short of her 100th birthday.
