Ship's Roster

Click the alphabetical links listed below to access the entire list of over 5,300 shipmates who served aboard the U.S.S. Charles R. Ware DD-865 during the years 1945 thru 1974, the duration of her active service in the U.S. Navy. This complete roster was first posted in November 2006.

Many shipmates are currently LISTED members of the Ware Association and regularly receive the Ship’s newsletter, NOW HEAR THIS, or have been LOCATED but are not currently in touch with the Association for reasons unknown at this time. Their contact information is available to all Ware Association members who are the generous sponsors of the ship’s Roster Projects and through which this listing is being compiled and researched. These projects have been ongoing since their inception in Dec. 2004.

Anyone may join the Ware Association be they shipmates, relatives or friends of the U.S.S. Charles R.Ware DD-865.

If you can provide information helpful in locating missing shipmates (alive and deceased), please contact Jerry Tardif (see below.) Information such as Home State and approximate age (Min/Max) can be very helpful in finding shipmates. Your help will be gratefully received on behalf of all Waremen.

Periodic updates are made to the Roster as the Projects continue to be developed and until the entire Ware personnel history has been audited and the last shipmate has been found. The currently posted Roster (version Twelve) reflects all known activity through February 2008.
