Hi again, I forgot to include dates. I was on the Acadia from 1989 - 1993. I worked in the Tech Library, the RS Div office, the Optical Shop and stood watches in CIC before I worked in the Lock ad Key Shop. I left the ship early because I broke my toes opening a 1200 lb safe on SuperBowl Sunday. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there! I'm trying to find old shipmates! I was in the Lock and Key shop working with HT1 Wilson (who married a moulder on the ship), then later working with BT1 Robertson, MR1 Perry, and FC3 Reaney after Wilson transferred. We were outside the Draftsman shop and the Engraving shop! I am currently an MA1, but retiring this year (2007). You can find me on Navy.Togetherweserved.com or email directly at Mrs.Nipper@gmail.com
Later,
Cindy |

ALL HANDS:
There are only three (3) Sherman Class destroyers left. The USS Barry DD-933, The USS Forrest Sherman DD-931, and the USS Edson DD-946. Sheboygan, WI is trying to get the USS Edson there as a museum. We NEED support and I am asking all hand to man the rails on this. It does not cost a thing unless you WANT to give. Please do the survey @ http://www.edsondd946.org/ and disseminate this information as widely as possible. Thank You for your time and remember, it does not cost a thing. |

False alarm folks! Acadia according to the inactive definition states that it is only subject for disposal. Just got off line with one of my other old shipmates who keeps up with all this stuff because he is a ship scrapper. Told me the last two tenders they sunk was the USS Gompers & USS Dixon. Again Sorry for the alarm. |

BAD news folks. I'm Not 100% sure but it looks like the Navy has decided to "Dispose" of the USS Acadia (AD-42). If you guys want to check it out the website is: http://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvrships/S TYPE.HTM
The page was last updated on 19/26/06 with that information.  |

Wow! to hear my kid read
names like "The Kid","Philly", and "Stoner" was certainly a jump starter. I had to restrain myself from dragging her on a trip back in time. |

Happy New Year to all my fellow Acadians. Found out about the site from a fellow Plankowner. Nice to see so many Acadians out there. I like the idea of a reunion. I know a few shipmates that are not online that I will pass the info onto. Would like to here from some of the old crew from the Plankowner era. Email me at edroesam@verizon.net |

Hi Shipmates, Just got on the site. Was on board 1990 to 1992. SSB'd out the day we got back to SD from the Gulf War. I Married Holley Reimer from 64A Carpenter Shop. We have two boys Brandon (12) & Kyle (10). Anybody from the Carpenter Shop, Outside Machine Shop 38A, or M-Division, looking forward to hearing from you. |
