Welcome Aboard
The USS
Basilone Association welcomes all crewmembers, their family and friends
to the official site of the USS Basilone DDE/DD824.
The
Basilone is a post WWll gearing class Destroyer that in it's lifetime
was home to all the men that served on her.
This site was created to bring all of Basilone's former crew together
where old friendship could be rekindled and it's history told.
The
Association has been running Reunions since 1994 and the creations of
this site was a natural continuance to bringing Basilone's crew together
and a way to remember crewmembers that are no longer with us. During the
gallant life of the Basilone she had logged many many miles and the
tales are still being told all over the US.
On the site you will find more then one way to connect with your old
friends. Using the
