Look below to find links to the stories and videos compiled by Mike Nave over the past several years. There are some great overviews of the evolution of the destroyer, including the Fletcher Class Destroyer, and a series of videos Mike has assembled of life aboard Radford. Enjoy!! We also added a video of the U.S.S. Radford Museum visited during the 2008 Reunion in Newcomerstown, Ohio, produced by ET2 Walt Shuman, and edited by Mike Nave. Be sure to stay tuned at the end for an interview with RADM George Wagner, ret., who served on the Radford in the early 60s.
