AWESOME
WEBSITE. JUST HAPPENED TO FIND IT THROUGH THE NEWSLETTER. SURE DOES
BRING BACK SOME FOND MEMORIES. I WAS A QM2 AND WELL REMEMBER THE
ROUGH WEATHER IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC AND THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER IN THE
SOUTH. I REMEMBER WELL WHEN THE SWKYWATCHER WAS THE FIRST RADAR SHIP
TO BE SENT OFF THE COAST OF CUBA DURING THE BLOCKAIDE AND THE BAY OF
PIGS INVASION. WE PICKED UP CUBANS TRYING TO FLEE IN ALL KINDS OF
WATER CRAFT. WE BROUGHT THEM ON BOARD AND TRANSFERRED THEM TO THE
COAST GUARD. I DON'T REMEMBER HOW LONG WE HAD BEEN ON DUTY BEFORE WE
WERE REPLACED, BUT WE WERE READY FOR SOME LIBERTY IN KEY WEST. AFTER
A FEW DAYS, KEY WEST WAS READY TO SEE US LEAVE. WE KNEW HOW TO HAVE
A GOOD TIME ON DUVAL STREET. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

My daddy,
Daniel Grover Parker, Sr., served on
the USS Interceptor late sometime around 1960-1962. He served as a
Roadioman and always talked about his time and friends aboard as
some of his greatest memories. He passed away in 2010.
Anyone remember him and have any stories to
share?
Thank you all for your service and dedication
