Comments: Biddle was my first Assignment in May 1992. I was on board until decom. I have many memories of my time on the Biddle. I was a DC3 when I left. I remember many nights of playing cards on the mess decks. I remember when I made DC3 after the frocking everybody had to "pin it on me" My arm had bruised all the way to my hand. Biddle was the best 2 years That I was in the Navy. I would like to hear from some of you guys that were on board during my time.

Treadway's tale about the torpedo homing on the ship belongs in the category of a sea story that only an Ops Dept guy would believe. Nice job TMs!
