USS Bulloch County LST-509
I was aboard the Dodge County from 30 Jan. '66 thru 23 May '66. I along
with several of my shipmate from the USS Bulloch County came aboard and
made a voyage to Iceland while awaiting the refitting of the Bulloch to
be completed. I remember some of the cruise but not everything. I do remember
that we had to pump off all of our ballast and a lot of our freshwater
and wait for high tide inorder to enter the harbor. We tied up to a pier
which had a fish cannery on one side and a whorehouse dead off the bow.
The other thing that I remember very well is that my counterparts in the
engineering department were a bunch of great guys. If there are any of
the Bulloch County hands out there who would like to write I would love
to hear from you. That goes for you Dodge County hands as well.

LST #722-Dodge County & others
Can anyone help me identify the 5 to 8 LST's that carried 1st Armored
Division troops & equipment for a training "invasion" of Hollywood
Beach, FL from Dec. 4-7, 1962? I believe #758, #722 and the Cal Argo were
3 of them. Thanx.

Comments: My name is George Chandler and I served as radarman second
class onboard the Dodge County from 11 Jan 69 until the time she was decommissioned
at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Orange, TX in Oct 69.
Helped Dodge County win the Battle Efficiency Award for fiscal year 1969.
Of all the ships I served on, I think I liked the Dodge best. After she
was decommissioned I spent the remainder of my enlistment at Beach Jumper
Unit 2 in Little Creek, VA. Honorably discharged on 21 Oct 70.

Comments:
I was on the Dodge County from February of 1966 to Feb of 67, I absolutely
loved my time with all of my shipmates. I actually was assigned to the
Bulloch County but she was being refitted and recomissioned. We were put
on the Dodge temporarily.
I remember going to Iceland, being a lookout as we traversed the inlets
and bays, the ice was thick on everything. The borrowing (heh-heh) of all
those British Limey's hats and the US Air Force Flight Jackets from the
enlisted mens club as well as several of us driving an old ambulance back
to ship with the Jukebox from the club inside. The next day, before we
were allowed to leave port we were forced to return all items. I can still
see all of those hats and jackets flying through the air as we lined the
rail and threw them to the pier.The Exec officer made us return everything
by order of the Harbormaster, except the Jukebox. He ordered me to paint
it Gray and I did, along with several deck hands. We shadowed a Russian
trawler during this trip (I actually think they shadowed us)this lasted
about 4 days, we were under general quarters for quite a while, this was
the cold war and we came real close to an international incident. Things
were real edgy there for awhile and we all let out a collective sigh of
relief when they disappeared into a fogbank one early a.m.
We raced two British ships to Bermuda and we beat them, we enjoyed quite
a party at sea along the way and I do mean a deck party. Swimming, fishing
and a bit of spirits.
A group of us used to set in the fantail gunmount and sing songs that
we liked. We borrowed Pies, bread and other fresh baked items and devoured
them in that gunmount. They used to set them out to cool just ouside the
galley and of course some of us could not resist.
I wish I could remember all of my shipmates names but I can't. I have
thought of you often.

Comments: My name is John Wise and I am from Minneapolis Minnesota.
I served on board the USS Dodge County from June 66 to June 68. I recently
visited Panama and the old Rodman Naval Base. Lots of good memories were
rekindled such as the gym, the ball fields, the piers, the enlisted mens
club (still there but not open), and the swimming pool. I started out in
Deck Force and then by the end of my two year tour worked in the ship office
as 3rd class. One of my foundest memories was the softball team we had
on the ship. We had a great team and took second place in our leauge which
included some good size ships. Some other members of the team were Donnie
Stephenson, Kenny Martin, Johnson (great Pitcher), Jake and Carlson. Other
shipmates that come to mind were George Drain, Chuck Casey, Raymond Thompson,
Eagle, Little Joe, Stein, and Valdimar Longoria. Love to hear from any
of my old shipmates.

Comments: Another name has come out of my pass today, LT.(jg) Gabriel
P. Caprio, I too, was on board during part of his tour, he was person who
saved my life and got me a two weeks in the bilges chipping paint instead
of two months in the brig, I was on that cruise to Colombia, and also to
Cuba, we were under the command of Frances Kelly, We sort of left Panama
in a hurry, and many left there cars behind, mine was in need of repairs,
so I left it in Little Creek some were not as lucky, It is great to see
the XO, and the fact that he is still around abd kicking, We need to put
together a reuion, Ok that means some one out there start organizing it,
Maybe in Evansville, In. where LST-325 is still out there kicking and still
cruising the Ohio, Mississippi, and Illinois Rivers, and while I'm at it
let me put a plug in for the United States LST Association, P.O. Box 167438,
Oregon, Ohio. 43616 [http://www.uslst.org/],
join up now yearly dues are $19, there is a lot of news in the LST Scuttlebutt,
you might fine someone from the past you knew. Take care all, and remmember
we need those pictures, please e-mail them to me and I'll see that they
get posted or send them to the contact at this web site, We need them now,

Comments: I served as Executive Officer from re-commisioning in 1961
to late 1962. I also served as Acting Commanding Officer during 1962 and
was lucky enough to command the ship on a good-will visit to Barranquilla,
Colombia from Panama as a Lt(jg). As I recall, we would have been amongst
the first ships to invade Cuba if the attack hadn't been called off. Our
target was Mariel. As far as I know, she's still active in the Thai Navy.

USS Dodge County LST 722
I Was Aboard the USS Dodge County LST 722, in February 1969. Departed
Morehead City, NC to Vieques Island Puerto Rico with 8th Marines Regt Hq
Co.
The trip was rough seas all the way. At before dawn we pulled around
the SouthEast end of Vieques into a fleet landing exercise. Signaling was
constant. As dawn finally broke. The CO a Lt.Cmdr, anounced that
all the departing Marines where to have their seabags seached for
the missing ceramic cups from the galley.
Well, What was that for? Because, in route as we lined up in groups
of 10 outside the galley and due to rough seas we were told to pitch the
broken pieces of cups over board directly out the galley hatch, the
cups were sliding on the racks, back and forth into each other and break'n.
I really remmember the diesel exhaust coming over us as we waited out side
the Galley. This ocuured over 6 days at sea.
Now for the Landing. Ha Ha Ha. As the airsrikes and gunfire ceased,
the ship was ordered in first thing to make the first landing. All the
Marines were ordered below when all of a sudden the ship rose up
at the bow and moaned to a stop. --We slid up on a rock formation.---Wo
HOE wowee. The CO tried to back off it, the hull was sliced open
a little and taking water, and was being filled with something or sealed
in that compartment any way. Dogboats from other ships tied on to
both sides of the ship. They pulled one way then the other to wiggle the
ship off the rock.
Mid afternoon, finally we broke free. By that time a pontoon dock was
set up, exercise was over, ships mostly gone and we docked and unloaded.
I drove my radio jeep off to the beach and took a nice picture of the Dodge
County at the end of the dock. Needless to say the so called seabag search
was never commenced. We all thought the CO would lose his ship command
for that one.

It was a thrill to read Wayne Sabo's posting about his father Julius
Sabo who was our shipfitter on LST 722 during WWII all the time I was on
board. Wayne, if you read this, please ask your dad if he remembers crawling
through manways with me dragging a welding cable and welding up a pair
of plates that the Jeffersonville Boat and Machine Co. missed so we kept
getting a flooded forward void tank. It was a hard, dirty job that your
dad did well. Also ask him if he remembers taking a torch to straighten
out the bent blades of the screws that got bent on our Lingayen Gulf landing.
I was one of the people who changed the screws under water.

Russell:
That looks fairly good to me, cut the picture in half like you
did, and make two pictures out of one, do you know how hard it to get pictures
out of these Guys? Its like pulling teeth., its been over 40 years, most
are up in there 60's and to lazy to up in the attic, or even open a draw
and look for them?
Thanks To Sheldon Aubut for letting me post my pictures to begin with,
LST-722 wouldn't even existed, I've been on a search for 5 years trying
to find old ship mates, and I think I've done fairly good so far, I've
been after George Kelly to post his for over a year, he won't part with
the originals, His Farther was are Captain when on was on board the Dodge
County.
I've also been after the Shipmates of LST-983 are "sister ship" to join
the web site, but to this day, I haven't seen anything? they even had a
reunion this year, haven't got any feed back from that either?
Thanks for you help.

Comments: I was transferred to the Dodge Cty. in Sept. 64 until disch.
in Apr. 65. I have never met a greater bunch of guys in my life. As I was
looking at Bill Housers' group of photos, I saw a picture of myself in
the TV room. (far right)'WOW'. I also found an e-mail address for Kevin
C., whom of which I haven't seen since I worked in Long Is. in 1989. I
did get a visit from Mike Johns back in the mid 70's though. He was an
ET in our comm div. Anyone out there see or ever hear from John (froggy)
Guifree? As I look back now, I wish I had taken more photos of our old
times instead of drinking so damn much. I do remember going in and out
of the Panama Canal countless number of times, then back and forth to Peru.
Great times from another life... Getting older now. I am orig.from Pittsburgh,
Pa. and reloc. to Las Vegas, NV. Just couldn't take the cold and snow much
longer. I had a home building co. in Pgh. and soon will be doing the same
thing in Vegas. If any of you ol' shipmates plan to visit LV sometime in
the future, please look me up via my e-mail. I think we should consider
having a reunion here. Any comments? Let me know.

I served on the Dodge County as well! June 1965 thru July 1967. Nickname
was "Stretch". Started out as a deck ape (most everyone was), and left
as an RM3 (a person can only take some much paint chippin' and red-lead).
Just kidding, I wouldn't trade those days for nothing. If I'm not mistaken,
I remember Jim O'Donnell and Kevin Campbell. Was O'Donnell the one who
used to paint the "rat guards" with faces of "big cats"? Yes I remember
the Equator trips going from a pollywog to a shellback on our way to Lima,Peru
(October, 1965). Oh well, enough for now. Dorp me a line...e-mail address

I was aboard the USS Dodge County from May 1964 to May 1966. We operated
mostly out of Panama with a detour to Iceland, Spain and Bermuda. We also
did several equator crossing enroute to Peru. It was an interesting time
for me and an experience that I will never forget. I loved being at see
and going to foreign ports in the two years that I was aboard as an active
duty reservist. We had the best bunch of guys as ships company.

Server aboard 61/63. At that time I was simply doing my two year active
duty ad per USNR. I returned to service in 1972 (USN) and retired 1991
as HTC. Of all the ships I served on this was the worst... perhaps best.
Ican't be certain of either. I miss only the old shipmates and have seen
only one somewhere in Indianapolis. Many were fron Michigan which I now

Sheldon:
Out of the blue, I get an e-mail last week from George Kelly, the son
of my CO., Frances Kelly who was my captain during my tour of duty.
He asked me if i knew his father, which I told him I did, (of course
its wasn't like a shipmate, or someone you hung out at the local bar with).
I told him of an experience I had with his father at captains mast,
where I was accused of hitting another petty officer of a higher rating,
I got off very light for something I did, had I not had a witness that
saw the whole thing which was a fellow officer standing above us when it
happened, he was the one that made the report, and came forward on my behalf.
The accuser got a transfer, and I got off very easy, I told him
his father could have demoted me, or put me in the brig, but instead I
got two weeks chipping paint.
Lt. Kelly or pop Kelly as we called him was one of the guys, he came
up thru the ranks from being a sailor on a Sub in WWII, to being an officer
in the modern Navy.
He told me his father passed away in 2003 of cancer, we didn't go into
detail, his final e-mail he said I had made his day.
This was something that made my day also, he told me that when he had
time he would go thru his fathers things at his mothers house and find
any history about the LST-722, or about his father that would be helpful
in are History section, He asked me if that was his father in the some
of the pictures we had posted, and I told him yes.
I wanted you to know, that because of you and your web site, this event
has happened, and I thank You.

I served on the LST 722 from 1952-1954. At that time we did not have a
name, only a number,(722). I was also a 3rd/2nd class Petty Officer on
this ship. I mustered out in November,1954 at Norfolk, Virginia. Most of
the time we took Marines from Morehead City, SC down to Vieques in the
Caribbean for war games. Spent most of our time at Little Creek, Virgina
and was overhauled in 1953 in Philadelphia Navy Yard where I met my wife
