My name is Brian Frederick.  I was surfing the net recently, when I found your site.  I served on the Twining from late 70 to mid July 71.  At that time the Twining was stationed at Treasure Island and was being used as a reserve trainer.  I was a member of the decommissioning crew.  My rank was RM3 (Radioman 3rd Class).  I had just come back from South East Asia with approx. 1 year left in the Navy, and was placed aboard the Twining.  At the time of the decommissioning, all members of the crew that had 6 months or less to go in the service were given an early out (Discharge).  While I was there, we made 3 voyages, Victoria, British Columbia, Ensenada Mexico and Eureka California.  I don't remember in what order those trips were made.  We made these trips as ambassadors (spit and polish) and gave tours to the civilians at each port.  I would appreciate it if you would include my name on the Twining's roster.

I have included some pictures taken and a list of the entire decommissioning crew.  In the picture of the Operations Division, I'm standing in the front row, second man to the right of the LTJG.  To my right on the picture was my good friend Raul Rodriguez.  Another close friend of mine was Robert Hansen, in the Supply Division.  He and I still communicate and see each other every few years.
