Comments= I served on the New Zealand ship HMNZS Pukaki, weather picket Operation Deepfreeze, over the 1962-63-64 summer seasons. Very rarely did the ships US/NZ meet up. Only once or twice did we see each other - usually on station hand over at sea. Did have occasion to have an ale or two in Dunedin with some from USS Mills? Did a total of 22 years with NZ Navy finished my time as CPO. |
