Welcome veterans, sailors and passengers of The USS General Harry Taylor or The USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg as The Gen. Harry Taylor became known in later life. The Vandenberg Project is in search of photographs and other memorabilia from your time at sea. We want to hear your stories as well. You can share here, in this blog or at www.bigshipwrecks.com.

i served on the vandenberg from july to december of 1969. spent some time off the coast of the kamchatka penninsula. i was ship`s company, an electrician, so i had no idea what all that telemetry stuff was. kind of suprised to see the old girl was still afloat.
hugh whiting
My dad, Larry Webb, was a crewmember on her first sailing to New Guinea; earned his Shellback. If he were still alive, I know I'd see his "near" chuckle hearing the ships fate.
Interesting that she transported Hungarian, after the revolution. My wife is Hungarian. Now he's snickering...
May she serve well.
