The Rock was quite an experience. It's one I've never
forgot. This web site is a great idea. After I left the Rockaway (as a deck ape I sometimes called it the Rustaway) I went back to ET school, served on 3 LORAN stations in the 7th district, and finished up 7 years of duty in New London. Right now I'm a tech writer in a slot machine manufacturing company. |

I am a Plank Owner on the USS Rockaway AVP 29. I have a real soft spot in my heart for this Ship. It was my first one. Anyone who ever served on this Ship is family, as far as I'm concerned! Hope to see you in Orlando next year. It won't be difficult for me since I live 225 miles away! |

She was a fantastically beautiful ship. It was blue and
had a white star on the bow. We were at pier 92 and docked behind the
California. We loaded ammo for 5 days solid before leaving Seattle. It was
literally a floating ammunition dump! That was the reason I left it in mid
43. |
