USS ALEXANDER J. LUKE DE 577 Donation

Photo submitted by Billy Joe Crawford RM 3/C

"I enlisted in the Navy in late 1943 (was 16 years of age), attended boot camp at Sampson, NY and went to radio school at Bedford Spring, Penn.   I went aboard the AJ Luke in mid 1944 at NOB Norfork, Va. and served until the end of 1945. I was discharged in April 1946.

I wrote a complete saga of the AJ Luke DE-DER-577 which was given to USS Slater DE-766 in Albany, NY, September 2002 during our annual reunion."
