I reported to the ship 30 Oct 66 as a Chief Personnelman and served in her until Dec 28, 1968, we made two westpac cruises. Departed San Diego on or about 3 November 1966, we ran over a grey whale and bent the starboard shaft but were not aware of this until we were well on our way to Pearl Harbor, they didn't have a dry dock available so we went to the Philippines and went into dry dock, all the time steaming on the Port screw. The filipeno's put us into dry dock, pulled the starboard shaft straightened same put us back together and away we went to Vietnam. We took a hit in the starboard side just above the waterline on St Patty's Day 1967. You see we had a marine pilot in a spotter, prop job, plane, he was shot down and he ditched in the sea, we went into pick him up but when we shut down the superheater in order to slow down, we lost power, that is when Charlie put a round in us, we got the pilot, went out to sea and put a temporary patch over the hole then went back and silenced Charlie. Those old 5"38's really did the job.

[Original biography]
I served in the US Navy for thirty years and retired in 1972. Boot camp was at Norfolk. In September '42 transferred to RM "A" school and graduated January 1943. Then transferred to the Philadelphia FFA then New York FFA. In April '43 transferred to the commissioning detail of the USS Andromeda (AKA- 15) at Brooklyn Navy Yard. Served in her until WWII was over. Among the ships and stations I served during my navy career were: Separation Center (Washington DC), Norfolk VA, USS Delta (AR-9), MCB2 Port Hveneme, Rupers, TIF 7 with the Atomic Energy Commission, Naval Air Station (Memphis, TN), Class "C" school, USS James E. Keyes (DD-787), USS Orleck (DD-886), Navy Recruiting (NY & Washington DC), USS Stoddard (DD-566). My service on the USS Stoddard was from October'66 to December'68 as PNC.

I came aboard the Stoddard fresh out of boot camp, in 1951 at Charleston SC. The first day that I reported aboard, I accidentally went to the forward engine room, looking for Lester Pryor, BT1, but was told that he was the next hole forward. I was a fireman apprentice and eventually made 2nd class petty officer. For a span of time I was "Oil King." Discharged July 1954 at Newport, RI. Married twice, have four daughters, 2 step daughters, 5 grandsons. Worked for an insurance company for 36+ years as a buyer of printing. Retired 1/93. Then worked part time as bartender. Hobbies are bowling, golf; also enjoy taking short trips. It's hard to believe that almost 50 years have gone by since I was on the Stoddard.

After leaving the service I graduated from NW Electr. Inst. in MN and went to CDC and retired from there after 20 years in September '84. Pat and I attended health club, played golf and sailed my boat (a day sailer) regularly. I especially enjoyed cross country skiing. I had a massive stroke in '87 and this has put me in a wheel chair. My son Mitchell will be attending the Charleston Reunion with me.

I was one of two radar technicians assigned to Stoddard in April 1944. The rating was later changed to electronic technician, a more descriptive designation since we were trained in the maintenance and repair of radio receivers and transmitters, sonar, and surface, air and fire control radar. My watch station was CIC while my battle station was Repair 3 aft. The experiences from these two stations are many. After service I obtained a BA in business and economics and was employed in the aerospace field working on jet fighters, ICBM's and the Apollo program. We are now enjoying our new home in the Sierras and spend our retirement hiking with our dog and traveling.

Besides serving on the Stoddard on some shore commands from Guam in 1946-1948, then on the west coast and then off to Japan for a couple of years. Once again back to the west coast, but this time to Seattle, then to Taiwan. After that I spend 3 years in Washington DC followed by a tour of duty on two aircraft carriers, the USS Valley Forge and the USS Forrestal, and my last tour of duty was at the shore patrol headquarters in Philadelphia for three months.

I retired from the Navy on Oct 6, 1964 after 20 years, 3 months and 10 days, and came out with the rating of RM1c. Received a nice pension along with social security.

I was married in 1954. My wife has retired from her job as a librarian at the North High School here in Des Moines. We have two sons.

Hello Bob

I was aboard just a few months in early 1966. I'd been aboard USS Porterfield DD 682. She left for WESTPAC in January and I was a short timer, on four months extension so I was transferred to Stoddard until my discharge in March.

[ Letter sent to all shipmates by Gary D. Niehaus, Ph.D., USS Stoddard 1968-1969 ]

One of the USS Stoddard alumni would really enjoy hearing from you. Since he is a great guy and a bit of a hero, you will enjoy communicating with him. Let me tell you a little about him.

Ensign Christopher Silleroy joined the Operations Department of the Stoddard in early 1968. Like all Ensigns, Chris didn't know much (how can a guy from New Mexico know anything about the navy?) but he listened to the Chiefs, he worked hard, and he made his shipmates laugh (it is impossible not to laugh a lot when you are around Chris). He was a valuable member of the crew during the Stoddard's last Westpac cruise. When the Stoddard was decommissioned, Chris received brown water training and was sent to Viet Nam to command a squadron of river patrol boats (PBR). While on patrol, an AK-47 round hit the right side of Chris' head. He was medivaced to a field hospital, stabilized, and sent home by way of Japan. His prognosis was so poor that he had to be held in Japan for six months to permit him to gain strength for the rest of the trip home. During his long convalescence he had to relearn to write, walk and function with left side paralysis. As Chris earned a journalism degree, he kept the people around him laughing. With that same laughter, he wrote to champion veterans rights. A few years ago, Chris fell and injured the left (other) side of his head. When my wife and I visited him at his assisted living apartment (in May), he was confined to a wheel chair and is nearly blind . . . but his joy of life remains contagious. Chris is one of those few people who can be dealt a really bad hand and play it with great exuberance and skill. In my book, he is a true hero.

Chris fondly remembers his time on the Stoddard. It would mean a great deal to him if you would write him (in large print) a letter saying something like "I understand you served on the Stoddard, I did too." Then you can tell him your favorite sea story. The letter would brighten a shipmate's day. However, you should not expect a reply . . . he really can't write letters anymore.

His address is:

Thank you for your kindness to a shipmate.

In May 1954 I got married. Unfortunately, the ship nearing completion of overhaul in Boston Navy Yard, that was the day she went out on first sea trial. Disaster! All those young ladies at the wedding reception and no sailors. And I had to drink all the beer (not all at that time, of course).

In 1966 I retired from the Navy as Senior Chief Radarman while serving aboard USS Independence CVA62, and from federal civil service in 1983 as a GS12. We've lived in Pensacola since 1974.

Sadly, the only former crewmember I had regular contact with was Lester (Louey) Pryor, BTC, who died a few years ago.

The Independence was on one of here Yankee Station tours off Vietnam in 1965 when who should come alongside for replenishment but the good old 566. I could hardly believe it! Still going strong 14 years after her recommissioning in Charleston. She looked as sharp as ever, but must have been pretty worn out by then. I took several pictures of her and am attempting to find the slides to make snapshots, but no luck so far with my storage "system"... Her voice radio call sign was "Two Bits"

I served on the USS Stoddard from its commissioning in 1944 through its decommissioning in 1946. I was a Ship Fitter 3rd class. I also served on the USS Young DD580, New Jersey B367 and Tidewater; left the Navy after seven years achieving the rating of metalsmith 1st class. Then I joined the Air Force and completed my 20 years, retiring a M.SGT. Then I worked for the US Postal Service as a letter carrier for 10 years. In 1975 I went into business for myself, restoring antique cars until 1997. I've had to cut back on work, doing only the stainless steel trim that need repair. At our age we won't be coming to the reunion as our "world" is closing in on us. But we enjoy hearing from the old Stoddard crew members, and enclose a photo taken with one of our restored antique cars.

After the war I worked for an air conditioning company in California, then for a bakery and then bought a franchise with the Taco Bell in Greely, CO. I later sold it and bought a franchise in Oklahoma City and sold back to Taco Bell in 1970. After that I worked for Taco Bell as a city manager-supervisor and then opened a distribution center for them for the state of Oklahoma. I retired in 1980 and moved to Mesa, Arizona.

[Email message October 13, 2001 to Glen Balzer regarding Dan Withers ]
I remember the "dork meter" well; I modestly christened it the AN/BDS-1. Dan and I were on a troubleshooting mission in the Radio Shack (exact problem not remembered). Must have been a power problem tho, as Dan noticed a main power panel switch that was slightly ajar. He operated the switch-shutting down everything in the Radio Shack but the lights.

Never at a loss to appropriately respond to a situation, Dan moved his white hat over his face and left the Radio Shack, shutting off the lights as he left.
I always remembered the above as one of the funniest Stoddard experiences I had.

I was aboard the STODDARD from Dec 62 until Oct 63. I was in OI DIV, RD2. I got out after throwing the lines over for the STODDARD on her way to WESTPAC. I cruise the web site every now and then and saw MR. Althouse's name recently. I e-mailed him and got an immediate response with a very nice message. He mentioned you had contacted him. I'm glad to say he is still as good of a person as he was when he was a JG. Will watch the web for more details on San Diego.

I joined the Navy in March 1949, and served through July, 1972. I reported aboard the USS Stoddard DD566 in October 1966, and was Boiler Tech Chief. Made two west pack cruises and was aboard in 1967 when she took a direct hit at the water line just below the aft 5" gun mount. We made emergency repairs and took the ship into Sasebo, Japan. I served on the decommissioning detail that put the Stoddard out of commission in Vallejo, California in September 1969. After that I went onto the USS Chicago CG11, then a tour of shore duty. I retired from the US Navy in July 1972, then went to work as a steam plant engineer until I retired in September 1992. My wife Eileen and I are traveling around the country going to ship's reunions and enjoying ourselves.
