Came on board in Charleston from USS Fearless to head to Desert Shield/Storm. Found this site and brought back great memories of some great shipmates. Shortest time spent at any command but by far some of the best people you could serve with. Think of the days over there often. Memories and smiles come back when you see the names, Sharp, Yancey, Honeycutt, Irvin, and all the others. Doesn't surprise me this crew has a site. One hell of a bunch. Hope to hear from some of you guys.
I served on the Impervious from 9-57 to 11-60. Was an RD2 when I left her. I loved that ship and the crew - they were the best. I think of her often. Super site, I just found it today. Richard

I was on board the Impervious as YN2/1 from 1664 until 1968. The times where great. For a time we were known as the Blob Buster. The guys who were on board at that time will remember when the Blob burst and flooded the lower decks and engineroom.
