Holy holy holy... Your Father served on the USS CHARLES F. ADAMS (DDG 2)??? Cool. Those guided missile destroyers had such a sleek profile! If you don’t know this, the CHARLES F ADAMS was the namesake of the Adams class destroyers and the last of them was decommissioned in the early 1990’s - they were great ships!

My father attended a USS CFA reunion in South Carolina a few years back. He had not seen some of his shipmates since the early 1960s. He had a great time - he has said several times that apart from Mighty Mo’, the Adams was his favorite ship.
