The USS BRADLEY DE/FF 1041 name sake lives on! I served aboard Bradley from precommissioning to December 1968.  During this time OUR ship and CREWS were EXCELLENT! I was the last or second to the last Plank Owner to leave the Bradley.  I feel sure we ALL left this SHIP with an EXCELLENT reputation and service record. My feelings: HER Captain that led us through Her first two Deployments should be a legend.  Captain Whaley TRULY LED!  I believe, still kicking at 90.  Thank You Sir for setting such a wonderful example, a GREATFUL CREW!
