At Sea, 1968

Several months ago, I was rummaging through a box of old photos from my active Navy days, and I found some shots I took during a fleet gunnery exercise off the Atlantic seaboard, of which the above are a sampling. The ship was USS Suffolk County (LST-1173). I was a lieutenant (jg) serving as main propulsion assistant. The year was 1968, Exercise "Exotic Dancer." The chaps in the pictures are (from the top): Sanders, Gunner's Mate First Class; Cantu, Seaman, and Bullock, Seaman. I wonder where these guys are now.
