Was onboard 1st Div from Dec90-Decom. I was a SN, the best div onboard the "DUKE OF EARLE". I remember the great and bad times onboard the ship. The time were we couldn't even get underway, going down to GITMO, the time that we got towed to VA and the tow ship ran us into the buoy. But we persevered and got the job done. We moved some ammo. Those days on the Nitro set the path for my naval career. I will never forget the Ship. I love what i do every day defend this country and train the future of our navy everyday here at Great Lakes. Drop me an email if you want to contact me. one more thing can't forget BMC Davis, BM1 Brinkley, BM1 Lemasters etc......

My father, Donald Freeman, ENS, SC was aboard the U.S. S. Nitro for its cruise April '44 to August '45. He told us many interesting stories about port calls during that journey. I have his chronology of the cruise along with a few pictures but there are no names or dates. Following the war he remained in the Naval Reserve until 1950. He died in October 1976.

Oct '80 (just after Northern Wedding) until Jan '82 - Acting 1st LT, then Asst. Ops - let 'The Fire' live on as the best example of snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat that I've ever witnessed. Thanks to the whole crew in action that day, so that we all could see another (you HAD to be there:) 36 hrs of sleep (total) on a 11 day Translant to the Med! The USS McCloy emergency breakaway?? I DIDN'T DO IT! Great folks - CAPT Loving, LT Moore, Chaplain Wilson, MPA Val Lippa, Gunner Gee, Rich Olson, Bosn Gaines, Pieter Debruijn, ET2 Gillis, the OS crew...

Was a striker and became an EM3 shortly after the med cruise. Knew Johnny Johnson and Eric Lloyd. We had many bible studies on the flight deck and enjoyed many good friends along the way on many adventures to the east. Was on board from 1979 to 1981.
