Talk:USS Ingersoll (DD-652)

1965 or 1966
I apologize that this is probably not being entered correctly but I am not a frequent user and am not at all familiar with using the Talk Page. Any moderator is welcome to correct the format of this information. The USS Ingersoll page claims "She sailed for the Far East 9 June and on 5 July 1966 began coastal surveillance patrols." This is simply impossible because the USS Ingersoll (DD-652) was part of PACMIDTRARON 66 (Pacific Midshipmen Training Squadron 1966) during at least part of that time. I do not recall the exact dates of this training cruise but the USS Ingersoll was in Seattle WA on July 1-4 1966. PACMIDTRARON 66 certainly overlaps the dates claimed on this page. The Ingersoll Vets homepage at http://uss_ingersoll_vets.tripod.com/dd652.htm states "In early 1966, all 5” 38 gun barrels of Ingersoll required replacement from erosion of the rifling, followed by training operations along the West Coast and Hawaii. She departed San Diego on 5 November 1966 for the Far East and upon arriving in the Tonkin Gulf was assigned to “Operation Sea Dragon”." The reference to "training operations along the west coast and Hawaii" apparently includes the PACMIDTRARON 66 cruise from San Diego to Pearl Harbor HI and Seattle WA then back to San Diego. 16:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC) t.currie@twc.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.153.160 (talk)


 * The US Navy's DANFS ship history says that was supposed to be 1965 not 1966, someone must have changed it. However it appears that something in DANFS is not right since the same paragraph is repeated. --Dual Freq (talk) 21:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
