Here are photographs highlighting the 2015 USS Calvert reunion held in Baltimore, MD, on October 1st through the 3rd. Although we had a lot of rain each day, we all had a great time. I’ll post additional comments and information on each event from the reunion over the next week or two, so watch for more updates.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for visiting the web site and for your comment.

I just ran across this website and enjoyed my visit! I served aboard the Calvert as Assistant CIC officer from June 1965 until May 1966. Left her at Hunter’s Point as she was being deactivated and being converted to a training vessel. I’ve got lots of pictures and Calvert artifacts if anyone is interested.
Hi Philip,
Thank you for your comment! Glad you enjoy the content. I’ll be in touch via email to find out more information about your pictures and artifacts.
Sincerely,
