October 2025 Newsletter
Shipmates & Hubbard family and friends,
This edition of the Herald has been posted on our website and mailed to shipmates and friends who have attended our reunions or contributed to funding the newsletter publication. The reunion association is governed by a five-shipmate board headed by Jim Kelly, email (jimkelly@earthlink.net). Decisions are made by vote of shipmates present at the annual business meeting held during the reunion. There is no absentee voting. Interim decisions between reunions are made by the board. Information about the location or the death of a shipmate can be sent to Al Eisenbraun at 748Hubbard@gmail.com. He also manages the Hubbard Ship Store There is a section on our website dd748.org displaying merchandise available or you can contact him or the newsletter editor (dd748@mac.com) for a list of merchandise available. The association does not have dues and exists with contributions and net income from ship store and reunions.
This issue was written by the newsletter editor, Dick Oliver, 199 Dali Blvd PH-3, St. Petersburg FL 33701 email dd748@mac.com The 1969 history article was written by Dick Oliver and Shane Hayes. Histories of 1966, 1967 and 1968 are planned for future issues. You are invited to share your memories through this newsletter. The deck logs of USS Harry E. Hubbard DD-748 and other ships are on the National Archives website for selected years during the Vietnam conflict. These are used to compile the narrative history. Personnel info is from the muster log files obtained by the association from National Archives. They are not available on line but the association can help you locate information about your service on the ship.
Shipmates may be interested in a paperback book available at WalMart and on-line by deceased shipmate Robert Scigliano (Yeoman First Class 7/22/44 to 3/26/46). Shipboard Life Under Combat: The Harry E. Hubbard at Okinawa is the title. It was published posthumously by his sons Brian Scigliano and Eric Scigliano. The two main events are the shooting down of kamikazes at Okinawa and the recovery of POWs at Mukden (Darien) Manchuria. I wrote articles on these two subjects and they were printed both in the Hubbard Herald and in the Tin Can Sailors quarterly publication The Tin Can Sailor. Copies available on request.
The Boston Reunion
This year 22 shipmates attended the September 16-18 annual reunion, held in Braintree Massachusetts. Shipmate attendees included host LT Brad Howe (LTjg 64-67), Mike Axell (GMSN 63-66), Ed Blanchard (LTjg 64-67), Bill Carter (LTjg 63-66), John Duffy (LTjg 64-66), Al Eisenbraun (SH3 63-67), John Fried (SN 59-61), John Grimmke (FTG3 65-67), LT Peter Guptill (LTjg 65-67), MSCM Ed Jose (TN 67-69), Cdr Jim Kelly (LTjg 66-68), MM1 Doug Leland (MM2 66-69), Jimmy Loy (SFP3 68-69), Red Mangold (BMSN 61-63), LT Dick Oliver (Ens 68-69), Dick Olsson (SFP2 59-61), Tom Ornazian (MM3 68-69), Gary Padgett (RD2 63-66), Hank Schleider (MM2 67-69), Ace Stromberg (MM2 66-69), Kent Ward (EM2 63-67) and LCdr Dwight Wirz (LT 67-69). Also attending were wives and other family members as well as two widows. These were: Ruthe Cunningham, Randy and Patty Libby, Cathy Cunningham, Theresa Bird and A.J. Wertelmann, Susan Fried, Pam Grimmke, Susan Guptill, Anne Howe, Ely Jose, Gene Jose, Beverlee Kelly, Dorothy Leland, Chuck Leland, Ken Leland, Mary Martin, Natalie Oliver, Joy Pryor, Celia Padgett, David Folmar, Kenneth Folmar, Lisa Sanders and Beth Ward.
The shipmates saw a lot of ships and boats. The first day, Tuesday, the attendees toured downtown historic Boston in DUKW boats, amphibious landing craft on wheels commonly called Duck Boats After seeing the historic sites along the Freedom Trail, the boats took to the water for a trip around Charles River and Boston Harbor. In the afternoon we visited the Boston Navy Yard. We would have gone aboard the historic USS Constitution but it was closed for maintenance and training. I could see khaki-clad personnel on the ship and learned from the news later that it had gotten underway. We did go aboard the USS Cassin Young DD-793, a Fletcher class destroyer. This was the class that preceded our Sumner-Gearing class, somewhat smaller and with five single mount 5”38 guns rather than the six in three twin mounts on Hubbard. It is the same class as the USS Mullany DD-528, on which many of our shipmates served after USS Harry E. Hubbard DD-748 was decommissioned.
The next day we went south to Battleship Cove in Fall River Massachusetts. We spent time visiting USS Joseph P. Kennedy DD-850, a slightly larger version of Hubbard in that it was a Gearing Class and had been modified by FRAM conversion. The snipes got to visit the engineering spaces. I did not visit USS Lionfish SS-208 but did see the PT boat display. We held our memorial service on the fantail of the USS Massachusetts BB-59 which was also open to visitors and where we had lunch.
Back at the hotel the annual meeting was held. Jimmy Loy indicated he was working on getting Knoxville as a reunion site but not quite ready. Doug LeLand presented a proposal for Branson Missouri, which was approved. Our last Branson reunion was in May 2011 and was well attended in spite of Branson not having an airport. The nearest airport is Springfield though some in the past have flown to St. Louis and rented a car there. Subsequently Doug advised me that the dates 14-18 September are firmed. He is working on getting a shuttle from the Springfield airport to Branson. Details will be in the next newsletter in mid-May 2026. Doug can be reached at email leldd0645@outlook.com or cell phone 417 730-0201. Jim Kelly indicated a return to San Diego can be scheduled if needed. As usual, the shipmates approve the reunion site selection at the annual business meeting.
Shipmates Remembered
Association Chairman Jim Kelly conducted the annual memorial service with assistance from Doug Leland and Al Eisenbraun. The two-bell ceremony is used each year and this year it was on the fantail of the USS Massachusetts BB-59. A record number of shipmates, 40, were remembered. At the end Mary Martin and Ruthe Cunningham jointly lifted the biodegradable memorial wreath over the railing of the battleship and into the waters of Fall River to conclude the memorial ceremony. It was an emotional moment as both had lost their husbands, Tom Cunningham and Dick Martin, in the last year. Both had attended numerous reunions and Tom and Ruthe had hosted two California reunions.
Since the reunion we have learned of the death of SOGSN Ted Howard Brown on August 12 2025. He was born December 20 1941 in North Platte Nebraska. He lived there both before and after his Navy service 1961-62 and subsequently retired from his job as a locomotive engineer on the Union Pacific railroad. In a note with a copy of the program of the graveside ceremony his wife Mary wrote: I wish to thank you for the informative newsletters over many years. He enjoyed them very much. I failed to include SM3 Billie Ward Everly, 1965-69, in this past memorial service. He died while I was on vacation and I overlooked my note to add him on my return. He was born 6/19/1948 and died 6/27/2025 age 78.
The Tin Can Sailors Reunion
Natalie and I went from the HEH reunion to the annual Tin Can Sailors reunion, held September 21-25 in Norfolk Virginia. In previous years we had attended TCS reunions in Houston and in Baltimore. There were 14 ships who committed to having their annual reunions within the TCS framework but there were others such as myself who attended individually. For groups space was set aside for hospitality rooms. Those with larger groups had their own room while others were sharing a room. The ships with larger groups included USS Wiltsie DD-716, USS McCaffrey DD-860, USS Mullany DD-528 and USS Taylor DD/DDE 468. At events such as the banquet and the tours the ships attendees were seated together. At the banquet I stopped by one of the tables with the Mullany bunch and chatted with a gunners mate who was aboard the ship when Hubbard crew were transitioning from our ship to the Mullany as HEH was decommissioned. Total attendance for the reunion was 255 and of which 145 were actual former Navymen.
One of the reasons for our deciding to attend was that we lived in Virginia Beach in my final three years in the Navy and were familiar with the Waterside hotel location downtown on the water in Norfolk. We enjoyed visiting some of our old favorite places like the Chrysler Museum with its famous glass collection and we took the ferry across to Portsmouth. Most of the attendees took part in the organized tours like the Spirit of Norfolk dinner cruise, the Jamestown tour, the Victory Rover harbor cruise, the Nauticus Museum with the USS Wisconsin BB-64 and the tour of an active ship, USS McFaul DDG-74.
The tour of the active duty ship was truly amazing. There were five busloads for the tour. Natalie and I were in Group 4 (of 5) and there were about fifty of us on the bus. At the Navy Base Norfolk the bus was able to drive right up onto the concrete pier and so it was a short walk to the gangway. We split into two sections. Our group started with the fantail whereas the other group started at the other end, on the bridge. The fantail could receive a helo but the ship did not carry one on board. From there we went to engineering control. There was just one central post commanding the power generation, propulsion, damage control and electricity output. It was air conditioned, unlike the Hubbard engineering watch stations. Next we went forward to the electronic space which I think was still called CIC. Our tour was lead by an OSC and an OS1. Operation Specialists replaced Radarmen toward the end of my Navy career in 1979. No more men behind plexiglass writing information with grease pencil backwards though there were a few status boards that were not electronic. The weapons, electronic countermeasures and radars were all controlled from CIC. Next the bridge. A young Ensign did the tour there. Underway one sailor functions as both helm and lee helm but both speed and direction can be set into the computer. The helm was actually quite small, perhaps 15 inches in diameter with no spokes. The bridge was air conditioned.
The USS McFaul DDG-74 belongs to the Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers. It was built in 1997, making it 28 years old. Hubbard, by comparison was decommissioned when it was 25 years old. The Arleigh Burke class consists of 73 ships built between 1991 and 2024. They have one 5”54 gun. Total crew is about 380 with about 23 commissioned offcers and 24 Chief Petty Offcers.
More ship info from Wikipedia. The Zumwalt class of DDG consists of three ships started between 2016 and 2019.. They were larger than the Arleigh Burke class but proved to be too expensive. There are two classes of Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), 26 total, built between 2012 and 2024 that are smaller in crew size than a WWII destroyer but similar in ship size. The concept is that there are modular packages to be added depending on the mission and a supplemental crew for the mission. Something new is that the ships remain deployed with two crews rotating on board, much like submarines do. There are seven cruisers of the Ticonderoga class.
The next Tin Can Sailors reunion will be Sunday August 23 2026 through Wednesday August 26. It will be in or near Warwick Rhode Island as the TCS is celebrating 50 years. Warwick is the location of their main offce, library and ship store. The phone number is 508 677-0515. The website is www.destroyers.org.
Last Days of the Hubbard - Reserve Training Ship
as told by Dick Oliver and Shane Hayes
In the last year of the service life of the USS Harry E. Hubbard (DD-748) the ship completed a WestPac deployment that had begun 18 July 1968. After several summer months as a reserve training ship, she was decommissioned 17 October 1969.
On 1 January 1969 the ship was on the gun line off II Corps Republic of Vietnam. Most of the fring was at night and that plus frequent daytime replenishments of fuel, ammo and stores made for a busy crew that was often sleep deprived. SK3 Shane Hayes puts it this way: “By January 1, 1969 we had already been on the gun line off Vietnam for 2 straight weeks, except for the 24-hour cease fire over Christmas. My GQ station was in the handling room of gun mount 52. It seemed like an endless stream of shoot all night, un-rep all day, rinse and repeat. Shoot out the carrousel, reload, police the empty brass, highline new pallets of ammo, lower ammo down the hoist to the magazine. Catch some Z’s on the deck of the handling room between firing runs. In my rack, exhaustion allowed me to block the noise of the ammo hoist next to my ear constantly running.”
The ship departed Vietnamese waters 7 January for Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines and anchored 9 January in Subic Bay to offload ammo before arriving at the Naval Station. The two Vietnamese Navy offcers on board for training left the ship 11 January The evening of 14 January the ship departed for its return to the U.S. via Brisbane (1/25-29) and Sydney (1/30-2/3) Australia and Bay of Islands (2/6-7) and Whangarei (2/7-10) New Zealand with fueling stops in Papua New Guinea (1/21), Pago Pago American Samoa (2/13-14) and Pearl Harbor Hawaii (2/19-20). The ship sailed in company with the USS Samuel N. Moore (DD-747) and USS Decatur (DDG-31) but the port visits for each ship in Australia and New Zealand varied.
In Brisbane men from Hubbard marched in the Australia Day parade. SK3 Shane Hayes recalls Brisbane thusly: “Brisbane gave Hubbard a warm welcome, perhaps remembering a major US Navy presence during World War II. I was told Hubbard was the first warship in Brisbane since WWII. It seemed like half the town was waiting on the pier to come aboard. SHL3 Harold Burnette and I were stuck all day as reluctant tour guides. Our attitudes changed after meeting a couple of girls, who invited us to their parents’ home for a home cooked meal. Couldn’t tell ya how dinner tasted after a couple hours at the pub with dad, an Aussie Army vet.”
In Sydney harbor there was an oil spill. In New Zealand the ship participated in Watangi Day at Bay of Islands. The ships experienced heavy weather as they skirted a typhoon between New Zealand and Hawaii. On 26 February the ship reached home in Long Beach and began a month or so of liberal leave and liberty for the crew.
For the next two months the ship was essentially cold iron, only underway from time to time with tugboats and a pilot while shifting berths or breasting out to allow another destroyer to leave a nest. The first two days of May 1969 USS Harry E. Hubbard was visited by the head of the Inspection and Survey Board, Pacific and his staff to evaluate the condition of the ship and suitability for continued service. Cdr. Frederick S. Adair USN relieved Cdr. Roy E. McCoy USN as Commanding Ofcer 14 May. Late May the ship became part of Reserve Destroyer Squadron 27, Flotilla Three, First Fleet. Regular Navy crew was reduced substantially in May with 48 men transferred without replacement. In June another 37 were transferred with only five replacements.
For the first underway period since the return from WestPac there were six reservists embarked for two days. The ship got underway at 0924 Friday 23 May and it was eventful. At 1057 there was a bearing casualty to the port shaft and the port engine and shaft were secured. The ship continued on one screw. From the ship’s deck log: “1211 Sighted merchant ship bearing 348°, distance about 2 miles on apparent collision course. 1213 Captain assumed the conn. Sounded International Danger Signal. Hoisted Code Delta. 1216 Sounded 3 short blasts, starboard engine back full. 1218 Starboard engine ahead one third. c/c 040°. 1219 SS Margarethe Bolten, West German registry, passed close ahead after causing this ship to maneuver to avoid collision.” Ensign Dick Oliver: I recall Hubbard vibrating and shuddering as it backed down on one screw, rattling the crockery in the wardroom and no doubt in the mess decks below as well. We returned to Pier 16 at 1602. I departed two weeks later as the ship began reducing the size of the offcer complement from 16 to 13.
More recollections of SK3 Shane Hayes: “Hubbard had been underway for a few hours that morning off Long Beach. I distinctly remember around noon, standing in the chow line on the port side of the main deck, BS’ing while we waited. An alarm sounded as the 1MC belched ‘Clear the port side’, then something about a collision. Considering the shudder and strange sounds emanating from deep inside Hubbard, something told me this was not a drill I was used to GQ from the recent WestPac deployment but was at a loss what to do with this new alarm except beat feet for the starboard side.”
Next underway period was Tuesday 10 June, about eight hours for various equipment tests. There were 42 civilian workers aboard for two days but no reserve crew yet.
The first underway period with the reserve crew personnel aboard was from 0935 to 1618 on Sunday 15 June with 8 reserve offcers, 65 reserve crew, 6 ComResDesDiv 271 RUTU personnel, 23 Naval Sea Scouts Cadets and 5 additional petty offcers. One member of the reserve crew was SM3 Karl Hudson. He had earlier served on the ship 4/29/57 to 7/14/59. He is an active member on our roster and has attended several reunions. He reached SM1 in the reserves and continues to reside in the Long Beach area.
For the next two and a half months reserve personnel came and went, individually or in groups, some for a weekend, some for two weeks and some for longer periods. Many of the reserve crew were petty offcers, including some senior chiefs. Nearly all had elected to enter the reserves after a period of active duty. At the time there was a six-year military obligation. After a four-year active tour one could either be in the inactive reserves or the active reserves. The active reserves got paid and could advance in rate.
Reservists embarked 20 and 22 June, debarking 3 July. Another group then came aboard and debarked 18 July. This continued with a new group every two weeks or so with the last group 31 August to 13 September.
The ship was underway Tuesday 24 June from 0913 to 1538 for various underway drills and training. Next underway was 26 June. After exercises that included firing from Mounts 51, 52 and 53 in the naval firing range at San Clemente Island, the ship entered San Diego harbor and tied up in a nest alongside USS Samuel Gompers AD-27. The ship returned to Long Beach a couple of weeks later, leaving San Diego at dusk 11 July and tying up in Long Beach at 0803 12 July. In the remainder of July the ship was underway for training 0752 Monday 14 July to 1621 Tuesday 15 July and 1120 Saturday 19 July to 1552 Sunday 20 July. The ship did more firing exercises. Reserve offcers conned the ship as OOD and the Reserve Commanding Offcer did the mooring at the pier in Long Beach.
Tuesday 12 August Hubbard made a round trip to the Seal Beach ammunition depot pier, 0740 departure and 1440 return to Pier 16 Berth 1 Long Beach. All ammunition was offloaded, including 30 and 45 caliber small arms ammo.
On 5 September, a log entry entered and signed by the C.O., Cdr. Frederick S. Adair: “Note: Ship changed from COMNAVRESTRACOM to COMCRUDESPAC OPCON this date.” Hubbard’s days as a reserve training ship were over and she was on the path to decommissioning
On 12 September the ship was underway for crew training and stopped at Seal Beach next day to offload torpedoes, depth charges, hedgehogs and pyrotechnics. At 1532 Hubbard was again tied up at pier 16 Long Beach. On 25 September the ship made the one day voyage from Long Beach to San Diego, where it was to remain until decommissioning
More notes from SK3 Shane Hayes: “After the last reserves left the ship and Hubbard tied up in San Diego, literally everything onboard that wasn’t nailed down began its exodus. As the last storekeeper aboard, I closed out the ships store including the case of M&M’s stowed above my desk. It was strange watching various spaces become empty. A large dumpster on the pier swallowed office furniture and chairs, while the snipes (plus any available personnel) cleaned up as much oil & grease from the bilges and engineering spaces as possible. Foreign navy personnel, shipyard workers and transferred crew members flooded the gangplank during this chaotic time. By mid-October, my seabag and I headed down the pier to the Mullany, which quickly became the oldest destroyer on active service in the U.S. Navy.”
While the ship was plainly proceeding toward decommissioning most activities did not merit deck log entries but there are a few. Diesel fuel was offloaded 9 October. The ship was shifted from pier 6 to pier 4 on 13 October. On 16 October the Pacific Fleet Reserve Inactivation Team was aboard. At 1500 crew berthing aboard ship ended.
The last day was 17 October. The Naval Inactive Maintenance Facility San Diego assumed control at 1530 after a deactivation inspection. Offcers and crew were transferred, most of them to the USS Mullany DD-528, also in San Diego. Eleven offcers went to DD-528, including the CO and XO, and two were released to inactive duty in the Naval Reserves. The watch was secured. The commissioning pennant was hauled down. The final log entry was the transfer of the CO from Hubbard to Mullany. By the deck log the Captain was the last man to leave the ship.
