US Navy Documentary about living conditions aboard this Fletcher Class Destroyer.<\/p>\n<p>Saufley was re-designated a DDE in 1949 and then an EDDE (experimental) and used for experimenting with new Sonar systems until 1962 when reclassified as a DD, then participating in the movie PT109 as well as the Blockade of Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>Saufley served admirably in the Pacific in WWII, instrumental in the sinking of two Japanese submarines as well as participating in several key operations. The future Commander, Naval Opertions, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt was Executive Officer of the Saufley 1945 \u2013 46.<\/p>\n<p>If you read the comments on Youtube, there are some from ex-crew members who served on ships like Saufley, and one who was a Sonarman aboard Saufley in 1962.<\/p>\n<p>And sailors think they have it rough now? \u00a0I think they should take a gander at how things used to be. Maybe they could run this by recruits at Great Mistakes, in case any of them are whining about &#8220;accommodations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Many, many thanks to \u2018braintrusts\u201d for posting this on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an official overview of the adequacy available of facilities for the crew of the &hellip; <a title=\"USS Saufley DD465\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=89934\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">USS Saufley DD465<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-historical","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89935,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89934\/revisions\/89935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
