My late brother Abram Lino Gutierrez served on USS Barnstable County in these years was hoping to see a snap picture of him. God bless you all who served
I did a med USMC med cruise on her in January toJune 1976 and we were off the coast of Lebanon just prior to the evacuation of American civilians. I worked on the signal deck with a great bunch of sailors. Semper Fi!

Dave Malecek - FN /IC3 - 4/74 to 12/75 - Many memories of my time on this Ship & it crew..Med cruise of 74 (4 months anchored in Lake Tiemsa Eygpt). Dry dock in San Juan PR Feb/Mar75, Summer 75 cruises to Halifax, Seemingly endless months tied up at Little Creek VA.
87 Unitas was a wild ride especially around the horn when we lost the seal on the bow door and the well deck flooded. 3ft of water everywhere forward of the well deck. Hummers, crates and payloaders smashing up everything in the well deck.
I commission the Barnstable County in Long beach Calif. I work for Chief Green house we sorted all the osi material for back load. I worked in the disbursing office, I have heard the the ship is decommission, this is here say and nobody has sent me anything.
