AGENT ORANGE INFORMATION HERE |
 Welcome Aboard the USS Conway DD/DDE-507
USS Conway's keel was laid 5 November 1941, and launched 16
August 1942, by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, under the
sponsorship of Mrs. Frank E. Beatty. The destroyer was placed in
commission 9 October 1942, Commander Nathaniel S. Prime, USN, in
command. The Conway saw action in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and
participated, as a recovery ship, in the "Apollo" space program.
She never lost a man to the enemy. On 15 November 1969, Conway
was stricken from the register of ships.
Since the early 1980's, former sailors of the Conway have been
searching for others who've served aboard her. Their purpose
being both reunion and fellowship. The Conway Veteran's
Association was formed in 1985. Today, it is a tax exempt
organization over 400 strong. We also have put up a log book.

"CVA Mailings"
To better control mailing costs, the Association voted in 2008
to send our normal correspondence - the Annual Newsletter and
the Reunion Details Announcement - only to those members who
have paid dues within the past two years. However, any shipmate
who desires a copy of either, even if he has not paid dues, is
more than welcome to it. If you are in this situation, please
contact the CVA President at
slfrench@cox.net and I will see that you receive a copy.”
