Reason for reading about the Vance : Looking for people I served with
Comments: I went aboard as EN3 and transformed as EN-2, worked in B-1 & B-3, Went to Deep Freeze, Remember Smith En-2, Cantu-EN-2, Chance EN FN, and Hunter EN-3. The 30 day patrol and 5 to 10 in port and working to get the engines ready to go back to sea is part of what helped mold me to a Navy career. I retired as ENCS in 79, had enough Sea Duty
