I served aboard the USS Arnold J. Isbell from March 1971 to June 1973 as an OS2. I made the 71-72 Westpac cruise and saw her transition into a reserve training ship as she neared the end of her days in the US Navy.

I can scan photos, transparencies and documents and return them to you if you provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Let me know and I will send you the mailing address. Hey, you can even send cash!
