Keith,
I was a SH3, Shipserviceman 3rd Class, on the USS Silverstein, DE 534. I do remember how bright the blasts
were, even though we were not looking directly at it. I did get to look at a
blast with the special goggles and remember that the colors of the mushroom
cloud were ever changing and it was just beautiful but at the same time I
felt it was very destructive. It was awesome!
I was everybody's friend, the laundryman, operated the ships store, cut hair, etc.
Thanks again,
Clyde Fry
Mirada, CA.
