USS MULLINNIX DD-944

Mullinnix Clips from 1958

The Mullinnix and the USS Ranger CV-A 61 were new ships. The Ranger was approximately 9 months old and the Mullinnix 3 months.

NOTE: The USS Lester DE-1022 was not on this cruise. Lester history shows that on 10 March 1958 Lester left Newport for operations off New England, returning to port on 1 April 1958. On 12 May Lester left for the Med. Shortly after her commissioning on 7 March 1958, Mullinnix headed (from Boston) for a shakedown cruise in Gitmo. If the Lester was performing ops in the New England area from 10 March to 1 April 1958, chances are the 2 ships saw each other and Richard Giles shot his video as seen below.
