Hi Terry, Just a note to thank you for publishing our historian, Frank Jablonski's, article regarding the collision of USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) and HMAS Melbourne (R-21) that occurred on 3 June 1969.  As a survivor and a Machinist Mate on watch in Main Control at the time of the collision, the memories will be with me until the day I die.       June 3, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the collision and we will be paying tribute to out lost 74 shipmates at the Friends Of The Navy Long Beach Navy Memorial in Long Beach, CA  and we invite all previous Evans shipmates, families, and friends to attend this ceremony.    For more details, I can be contacted at:  rep1029@aol.com   Thanks again for publishing the article and please keep up the good work.   Roy "Pete" Peters Director of Survivor Relations USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) Association, Inc
