A very Merry Christmas to Biddle "Hard Chargers" scattered everywhere. Remember, way out there 35 light years or so, she still proudly sails on! ( and those "wogs" still man their watch stations) Ha! Merry Christmas.

Hi All, I just wanted to say its a great website you have here. I served on the USS Belknap 71-75 and we just had our Dedication ceremony in Norfolk at the Wisconsin memorial park. I was a GMM on Ma Bell and was a friend of GMM Cliff Morgan. I see he's not registered on the ships company yet. Would anyone know where he might be hiding? You all take care. Truly Rob Sharp

How great would it be to have the oppoprtunity to go over to the Gulf and kick some butt. I know for one that I would do it again in a heartbeat. God Bless our troops and fellow sailors who risk their lives for another human being. I say we get a crew of USS Biddle sailors together, find a vessel of some kind and show the world what the best crew of the greatest ship can do. Deus Clypeus Meus

Always admired the Biddle from the days I was stationed on USS Towers DDG-9. We were always reading tech briefs about equipment and reports about exercises Biddle conducted. We had much of the same equipment including the Standard missle launcher. So when the Biddle kicked butt, we felt validated.Great ship and cool webpage. The Legend lives on.

I went down to the recruiter's office and told him I'd like to go back in and kick some Iraqi butt and that I still had my dress blues. He asked me if I could still get in them all at one time - I hung my head and left his office. Hello to all Hard Chargers! Support the troops.George BoylesGMG2 1967-1970
