I have moved all of the old posts of the ships log here.

Hi shipmates. Especially you plank owners. Glad I found this site. Was sorry to hear the old girl was retired. I remember being in #2 engine room on watch during the comissioning cerimony. It was piped in for me to hear. When they announced she was now in comission I hit the vent fan switches and she came to life. I was 18. Now I'm 54. It's been a while. Wes Carroll 16 Jan 2001

In the Kevin Costner movie "No Way Out" he is sent to a ship & in one scene, a DDG or DLG is shown with the #21 on the bow, does anyone know if it is the Cochrane or not??? Al Harris(Harry) '66 to '69 17 Jan 2001

Looking for FTM-1 Ralph Murray. Aboard from commissioning to after I left in early 1969. Hicks 18 Jan 2001

Cochrane went from Desron 25 to Desron 33 around "73" or "74" I got transfered in 1977 and she was still in 33.
