Your account of the U.S.S. Direct, MSO-430 is inaccurate. It states that the ship was sold for scrap in 1982. This is totally wrong , I must inform you. I was assigned to the U.S.S. Direct, MSO-430 in 1972 into January of 1973. At that time it was being used mostly as a training vessel for the Navy's Reserves, better known as the "Weekend Warriors". I was an ET, (Electronic Technician), on ACTIVE duty, permanently assigned to the U.S.S. Direct, MSO-430 to take of her electronic needs such as Radar, Sonar, Radio and highly sophisticated Anti-Submarine Warfare equipment. Your "Wikipedia" description of such a special part of my life in the U.S. Navy read extremely insulting to me and I would venture to guess any of the other 70 some-odd shipmates I proudly served with. I respectively ask of you to get it right and edit your history of my ship.

                                             Sincerely,
