The Crew consisted of 342 Enlisted Men and 21 Officers.
They were seamen, quartermasters, machinists, minemen,
electricians, gunners, radiomen, soundmen, cooks and bakers,
yeomen-- and all the other designations needed to operate a
ship in time of war. In their "former lives" they were just kids out
of school, doctors, attorneys, mill workers, railroad men,
farmers, cattlemen-- and all the designations needed to
operate a country. These men all came together aboard the U.S.S. AARON
WARD. They came because they were needed. They
fought together, they sweat together, they bled together, and
some died together. And some of them died in the arms of
a buddy.
Please note that although all the names are hyperlinked,
