Damage Controlmen (DC), Metalsmiths (ME),

and Pipefitters (FP)


(Recreated image)

The following men were in R (Romeo) Division at one time or another during the Med cruise
of 1956-1958. The numbers before the names refer to the picture above. Some of the names
escape me, so if you know any one I missed or mistakenly identified, notify me. Also some of the rates below do not agree with the picture since the roster was created some time after the picture was taken. (NP) = Not Pictured. BTW, #17 is me.
