[edit] Service aboard

The USS DENVER is a great ship and very versatile. I had a great tour aboard her and was fortunate to serve under two great Commanding Officers. Don Jones, later promoted to Vice Admiral and Bob Klee, later promoted to Rear Admiral. Both, I am sad to report are now deceased.

The ship motto or slogan is not as stated. It is "A MILE HIGH, A MILE AHEAD."

This is on the ship plaque of which I have two.

In 2005 the CO of the ship began using "The Finest Gator in the Fleet," as the ship's motto. Although I no longer serve on the ship, I believe it is still in use today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.56.129.194 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 11 February 2007

[edit] Great ship

I served aboard this ship on two West-Pacs, from 81-83. I loved this old ship; she never let us down in the rough seas. "A MILE HIGH, A MILE AHEAD." was the motto when I was aboard. It is too bad they changed it. I still have one of the stickers on my old id. She's a fine ship. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.32.32.166 (talk) 11:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC).
