This Web Page is Dedicated to:

The Crew, their Families and the Friends of the USS Howard W. Gilmore (AS-16), and to our, and their, Great-Grand Children, as a way of providing information of-and-from the past, which is something that I have always wanted.

- Eldon R. Brown, Feb 1997.

The following excerpt from the 2006 Ships Log says it all - thanks, Earl.

. . . . I did more growing up in that time period than any other in my life. My most vivid recollection was a six week cruise to the Carribean, not so much for the destination but for the exhiliration of being out to sea, especially at night when I would sit up on the forecastle taking in the wondrous moonlit seascape, the sound of the ship cutting through the water and the intoxicating smell of the ocean. The Gilmore was more than just a ship, it was an awakening for me for which I will always be thankful. Rest in peace my silent friend, you did your job . . . .

- Earl W. Silvia, Jun 2006.

Is it possible to SAVE a ship, like this Grand Old Lady?

No, It does NOT look like it!, See Pre Current Status

She has DONE and SEEN so much,

Our MEMORIES only contains ECHOS of Her EMPTY spaces!

I, for one, would have liked to sail with Her, and the Crew, again, . . . . and someday I will.
