  • wiltsie was home for me from 11/65 to 04/67.She was/is a great ship.As of 02/03 she was still active in the Pakistani COAST GUARD.She sure could take some heavy seas.

  • Home Sweet Home. For an old retired salt like me, these pictures are a breath of fresh air. I had 4 ships during my career, USS Walke DD-723, USS Wiltsie DD-716, USS Bronstein FF-1037 (Formerly DE-1037) and USS Talbot FFG-4 (Formerly DEG-4). By far, my favorites were Walke and Wiltsie. Twin Screws, turn em on a dime, REAL NAVY all the way. Thanks for everything. Allen Smith ET1(SW) Ret. On Board 1970 - 1972
