We are slowly, but surely updating and adding the information back to our website in a new format that works on desktop, tablets and mobile devices. Please check out some of new initial pages and please comment if you have any feedback. We added our CONTACT US and LINKS pages and are working to upload the photos and information again. More to come as we sail through the Internet...

Our new website will be coming soon. Unfortunately, the web site license expired and we did not renew it on time before it went to auction and someone else bought and retains the rights to our original web address. Instead, we will be publishing a new site and information at: http://www.ussbluedd744.info

Please look for updates coming soon.

Recently, a few political post were put on here. I will take the blame for that. They were supposed to go on MY timeline not the Ships timeline. Everyone who know me understands that I have very political views. But, I keep that off this site. Somehow my "share with" was changed without my knowledge. We have a rule at the reunions . We don't talk about Guns or Politics. We do the same here. I'm sorry if I upset anyone. It wasn't intentional. Dennis

House Approves Benefits for Blue Water Navy Veterans

WASHINGTON -- The House unanimously passed legislation Monday that would extend Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to approximately 90,000 sailors who served off the coast during the Vietnam War, some of whom have been fighting for years to prove their illnesses were caused by exposure to Agent Orange.
