Looking for photos and history
of CO's and XO's of USS Rathburne. ANY Help between 1977 and de-commissioning
in 1993 is appreciated. On June 30 1975 the ship was designated as a FF,
which most know stands for fast frigate.
Fourth
Commanding Officer
You may
say to yourself that Cdr Russell was on the last page. And you are correct.
But I believe he has the distinction on serving as Commanding officer DE-1057
and FF-1057. At least that's what I believe right now until we receive
input from you our reader. Looking for fifth C.O. and beyond. So if you
find missing info in your old cruise book or you have a welcome aboard
pamphlet, Change of command program, or just a visitors pamphlet from a
ships open house please find a way to submit.
Fifth Commanding Officer
On
6 December 1975 Commander Leland E. Wood, Jr releived Commander Russell
to become Rathburnes 5th Commanding Officer. Presently no Bio avail
but if you have a cruise book or a copy of the Change of command you
may be able to help here. Thanks Jim for providing som 76 history..
