Chief R. G. Stone, USN 1944-1964 1925 - 1997 He started WWII on the USS California but soon joined the crew of the USS Landsdown, a destroyer serving with the USS Missouri's battle group. The Landsdown carried the Japanese surrender party from the docks in Tokyo to the Missouri that was anchored in Tokyo Bay. He joined the service fleet in 1946, became a deep water diver. Became a Chief in 1958. Proudly wore the gold stripes of a spotless service record. He was my mentor, my teacher, the measuring stick against whom all other men were to be measured. He was my dad.
