I was working with them three years ago. But gave up because of to much in fighting and little dedication to save her. They thought it would be easy but were gravelly mistaken.

Saw a message on the Tico facebook page. It appears that the Navy has released Tico for parting out and eventual disposal. Whatever happened to the Mississippi MAritime Museum?

My Father, Johnnie McLendon was in the Navy and on the Ticonderoga in 1944. He enlisted the day he graduated from High School in 1943 but only served 1.5 years before being injured on the Ticonderoga. I'm trying to learn more about what happened. He said that they were in the midst of the Philippine Campaign when he and several others were transferring from one ship to another. My dad was crushed from the waist down but survived. He spent the next 3 years in various Hospitals but then lived to marry and have 5 children. He passed away in 1985. I'm tryinig to learn more about exactly what happened. I don't know if they were transferring the men due to the Typhoon in November 1944 or the kamikaze attack. Several men died when the ships were pushed together by a huge wave. Someone pulled my dad back on board. If anyone has info about this, I'd love to hear it. m.a.eggen@sbcglobal.net

My Uncle Norbert was on the USS Ticonderoga during Pearl Harbor. I have pictures of him and his shipmates and letters he wrote to my Dad when he was just 8 yo. My Uncle is a hero along with the rest of you. I am trying to find out more on his story. If you can help me in any way I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless and Thank you

Bill,
I had Ernie's email address at one time. Must have lost it over time. Sorry. Last I knew, he owned and operated a Karaoke Bar in Atlanta.
Happy holidays to you. Hopefully more fun than the ones 29 years ago (God, has it really been that long??) off Beirut.

Clint,
Thanks, Bud. I thought I saw a cover on U-Tube, but haven't been able to find it since. It was a great version either way.
Hope all is well.
Cheers,
Bill

Bill,
That was Ernie Thero who wrote that.
We use to do it together, with him on guitar. All I remember well is the chorus. Sorry I don't remember the verses. He always sang those. I'd fill in on the chorus.

My name is Michael Blair, I was also a plankowner of Ticonderoga CG-47. I was the senior medical department representative (Doc) and I do remember your brother. We had many a nice moment together whether it was at sea, on liberty in a foreign port or just sitting around the mess decks just talking, playing cards or getting ready for another operation. Is your brother still with us? Your message makes me believe he has gone on to Sea Duty in Heaven. I have the original commioning book and I look through it often remembering all my shipmates. I miss them all and always wish I could go back in time and relive the adventures we had. He was a great sailor, a great shipmate and forever my friend.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Blair HMC(SW) USN ret. Plankowner USS Ticonderoga CG-47. ---- "QT - James J.Matuszak" <qtopic-6-AQm2Rp9WfP87k5BFKoHk@quicktopic.com> wrote: < replied-to message removed by QT >

CG-47 Plankowners will probably remember a version of the Waylan Jennings tune that someone from engineering re-wrote titled, "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Sailors. Who was it in engineering that came up with that tune and does anyone have the words?
