SUBMARINES AND TARGETS   FROM WILLIAM S. "BILL" WALTERS, IC2, USS RAMSEY (DEG-2):   I was privileged to spend one day on the USS Menhaden (SS-377). I was an IC2 on the USS Ramsey (DEG-2), transferred by helo to the Menhaden on a crew exchange, August, 1968. As I recall, Ramsey was ASW coordinator for the South China Sea. Menhaden was being used in training/penetration of the ASW Task Force, which included one ASW carrier, the USS Bennington (CVS-20).   Here is a color photo of the Menhaden that I took prior to my boarding. She is within hailing distance of the Ramsey, backing down on diesels, in fairly mild seas, with three personnel on deck.   USS Menhaden (SS-377)   I found a distressing B&W photo in our 1968 Cruise Book for the USS Ramsey (DEG-2), during her first WesPac. A periscope shot of my ship, taken from the Menhaden!   USS Ramsey (DEG-2)   As we say in the Silent Service, "There are only Two Types of Ships: Submarines . . . and Targets!"   Thanks for sharing these photos, Bill! Your Ship sure is a "Beautiful Target!"   (Images Courtesy of William S. "Bill" Walters, IC2, USS Ramsey (DEG-2), 1967-69)
