Webmastered by Roger Rieman, Official Cony Association Roster Keeper
I served on the USS Cony DD-508 from 1962 until 1965 in the OI Division.
I originated this website in 1997 and have reacquainted with many of my shipmates
and have many new shipmate friends because of it and hopefully you will too. |

See the Movie "Greyhound (2020)" depicting a Fletcher class destroyer starring Tom Hanks
|
|
I was glued to the screen watching
Tom Hanks commanding the fictional USS Keeling, a Fletcher class
destroyer in 1942. The movie is based on the book "The Good Shepherd"
and portrays Commander Krause leading the escorting destroyers
protecting vital troops and supplies to England through a dangerous
section of the North Atlantic while battling wolf packs of Nazi U-boats.
Cony sailors will have flashbacks with the super video depicting the
Fletcher class in rough seas. Even more familiar would be the bridge
scenes if you attened the 2004 Cony reunion in Baton Rouge. The movie
was filmed on and around the USS Kidd and the bridge scenes were right
off the ship. Here is a link to a synopsis and a trailer with some
footage from the movie. Greyhound Movie
