Franklin Heiser JR...... I was a ....BMSN .... I served aboard the ESTES from 1960 ..1962 Went on a far east cruise, best time I spent was in Hong Kong with the guys,had a great time aboard the ship and the ports we went to. Anyone who would like to contact me I am in N.J. and would love to hear from others who served aboard at that time. The greatest time as a young man for me.

My name is Ronald D.Lehn I was a BMSN aboard the Estes from 1960 thru 1962. At that time myself and almost the whole assault boat coswains were transfered to the USS Talladega (APA-208) out of Long Beach, CA. I was in the second div. Was also an L.S.O. for flight opps.While in Manila in 1961 we caught a 5 foot shark off the after well deck while the capt.watched us. Op Pony Express in Borneo we slept on the flight deck at night because it was so darn hot. I had a hard time coming from an LST to a Flag ship but I finally did and she turned out to be a good ole girl.

What ever happened to her was she scraped?
Let me know any info you can.

We will make our best efforts in returning things safely, since we use public carriers to return items, i.e. US Postal Service, we cannot guarantee safe returns. We would feel more comfortable if you had items scanned into digital images.
