The only thing I was on in 69 was my momma's tit.

Was the Yarnell an Adams class? It sound familiar and I was on the Barney from
86-'88 and it was an Adams class; DDG-6.

No, HEY was a Leahy class DLG (DLG-17). It didn't have squat for guns but it did have Terriers at both ends.

I was on an Adams class DDG, the Hoel DDG-13 from 71-73, though.

On the Yarnell, we had one particularly clueless ensign who thought it would be a good idea to have a guy fake a nuke weapons intrusion. Poor Guido damn near got himself killed when he ran away just like the ensign told him to.
