E-mail links have been disabled. The reason this was done was to prevent spiders (automatic gathering/capturing programs that roam web pages looking for specific code) from capturing email addresses and using them for SPAM purposes. To prevent the capture of the addresses, all source code for each address has been removed, as well as spaces inserted into the address to further prevent automatic recording from spiders.
To email a person, simply highlight the entire address, including the spaces and paste into a message address line, then remove the spaces before and after the @ symbol.


E-Mail addresses have been removed from those above, when I get a returned mail – user unknown.
This has to occur more than once in succession.
Meaning you no longer have that e-mail address.
Please try and keep them updated.


As webmaster of this site, I will add to the list of names as I recall, told about or informed of those that have served on the Johnston.
If for some reason you do not wish your name and e-mail address to appear here please e-mail me.
Thank you.


If you would like to submit your name, please send in the following;

Your first name.
Your last name.
Nick Name, come on, you had to have one.
Highest Rank/Rate attained while on board
The years on board
E-Mail address

Please send the above information to:
Webmaster @ USSJohnston.org

* * * With USS Johnston as the Subject * * *

Other wise there is a very good chance that it
will be sent to the JUNK File and then deleted.

Thank You


The over all format of the Officers and Crew pages will be changed when more crews are compiled.
This page will basically stay the same until it becomes unfeasible in this format.
