Mr. Philip Selden contacted me and also sent the following photographs taken during the 1965-1966 WestPac cruise. He was aboard the Calvert from June 1965 to May 1966, and left her at Hunter’s Point as she was being deactivated and being converted to a training vessel.
These are great photographs from the Calvert’s last days at sea:
In the book A History of the USS Calvert (APA-32) (click on the name to download the .pdf), David B. Cullen, Jr. provides a detailed written account of the Calvert’s full history while in the service of the United States Navy: 1942 – 1966.
Mr. Cullen served as an officer aboard the Calvert during WWII. He published this book in 1986 and made it available at the Calvert Association reunions and via the Calversion.
I was able to obtain a copy of this book at the September 2013 Calvert Associates Reunion, Des Moines, IA.
From the Calvert’s log, 00-04, 1966-January-01, written and entered by Ens. J.P. Daily, USNR. Can you spot the error?
