Gentlemen, I had the honor to be Assistant CIC officer and then First Lieutenant of the World's
Finest Destroyer in 1968-69. The commanding officer, CDR E. B. Taylor Jr. asked me to make up a card he'd sign for those
individuals who rode the bosun's chair on a highline transfer at sea between our ship and another alongside. This is the
card I designed. As I recall a tender printed up a thousand so there should have been enough for the rest of the ship's long
and distinguished service.This is a scan of my card, signed by CDR C. E. Gurney
III, for riding the highline to & from USS Gurke in the Sea of Japan. It was a thrilling experience. BM1s Pokorny and
Gravatt were leading petty officers of the ship's First Division that manned the highline and I'm proud to recall the men's
coordinated strength didn't allow their young division officer get dunked. I
have other photos of the ship and her people I'll gladly send if you're interested. Thanks for your good work for the DDG-22
association and all the sailors who proudly served in the World's Finest Destroyer. Very
Respectfully James M. ("JimMike") Steussy
LCDR, USN (ret.)
