Captain's Family Grams
These letters were written by the Commanding Officer during the 1968 - 1970 forward deployment of DLG-11 to Yokosuka, Japan. They were sent to the States to families of shipmates to keep them informed on what the ship was doing and where it had been.
Thanks to RD2 Rick Hamer's mother who kept them all these years for all of us to enjoy again.
Thanks also to RD3 Ben Dopp for providing a missing link from 5 January 1970.
