Summary: question for reviewer O.D. Biggs
Comment: Mr. Biggs:
I read your review of this book and you mentioned that you served on board the destroyer USS Sims; my uncle Robert Andren also served on it, in the engine room I believe, sadly he went down with the ship when it was bombed in the Coral Sea. I was wondering if you may have known him- Robert Andren of New Rochelle NY.
Thank you.
Bob Andren

Summary: Priceless
Comment: I received "The Buckley-Class Destroyer Escorts" as a gift and I consider it priceless. Having commissioned and served as a Gunners Mate on the USS Sims DE 154 (ESCORT DIV.6) until she was converted into the APD 50, I am familiar with some of the action in the Atlantic and Eastern Areas. Being able to follow the history of the Division, after I was reassigned, was a treat. Some of the inserts, the experiences of former crew members, struck pretty close to home. They well may have been in the bunk next to mine. The photographs were great. This book contains the only photo that I have seen of the "SIMS" underway. Compiling all of the information in this book, so long after the fact, is almost unbelievable. It is, in many respects, a record of a piece of my life. Any Sailor that served on one of "The Little Wolves" should own a copy of this book.

Summary: Marvellous maritime Book
Comment: I recommend this marvellous book to all naval enthusiasts because they can easily see all of the Buckley class on it. Especially I am very glad to see all of the Captain class. I couldn't find which ship of the Royal Navy had 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns on X position before I purchased this masterpiece.
