USS Rich

Looking for Shipmates

As a crew, we learned early in our Navy life that we had a moral and physical responsibility to look out for each other. That responsibility continues well into our civilian life.

In 2012, the association accepted a responsibility to re-connect with every shipmate possible and the Shipmate Search Project was created.

With funding available, we have located over 800 shipmates. Sadly, 40% of them were deceased.

Below is a list of shipmates who served aboard RICH in 1965-1967. Our ace searcher is unable to locate any of these men. Do you know where any of them are located? Inquiring minds want to know!
